Assuming you're not going to show up in a commercial vehicle you can take pretty much what ever you like to the tip as long as it poses no serious environmental risk and its not on-fire or alive.

I often turn up in a commercial and sign written vehicle and have only been stopped and asked about it once, to which I just said that I'd borrowed work's vehicles over weekends as I'm renovating and he was fine with it.

There'll be a section specifically for cardboard if it's ran properly.
I hate going to the local tip though, the employees are jobsworth wankers.

But Davey, what if you need to get shot of a radioactive cat with AIDS and Ebola, that happens to be strapped to some very unstable emergency flares?

You're lucky, all of them round here are nobs, went there in a hired van to drop off one TV when my mate moved house, sorry you can park outside and walk in but not bring the van.
TV got carried the length of the tip and lashed in the container with them all neatly stacked.  sorry about your nice stack of tellys tip man. Sounded like war

Both of my local ones even come out and open the height restriction barrier if I go in the big work truck; they're really laid back-only thing they get funny with is plasterboard but ony when it's not bagged

I think they realised you can make a lot of money from rubbish, so tarted the place up so it didn't look like a pikey site.
I try and smash anything worth any value, else they take it to sell on.

Our local ones are cunts.
And try taking a bag of "mixed waste" from a house clearance. They pretty much make you segregate all the waste and distribute to recycling points of the 8 acre site.

Sounds like it's not just me who launches everything in there, just to make sure it's broken!

They don't take plasterboard at ours so I always make sure it's well hidden between other stuff.

Which one do you go to, Leek just ask for it to separate from building waste and they have a separate area for it. Occasionally, they've made me sign some paperwork to say that its domestic and not commercial but that was it.

The Cheadle one as it's 30 seconds from my house, they always tell me the closest one that accepts it is the Leek one but not going all the way Leek for the sake of a few bits of plasterboard.

Ours is awesome, they'll take anything at all as long as its not mixed. Struggle a bit with tv stands etc as they're often metal glass and 'wood' but anything else is alright.

They seem strict with bins round here, only been on Staffordshire Moolands council for 2 months and already they've not taken our recycling bin twice, yesterday due to 'plastic packaging wrap mixed with polystyrene'. Not sure what part of that was wrong. Makes me wonder what we pay £140 a month for.

polystyrene is the problem. I had the same when someone else used my bin and put polystyrene packaging and a balloon in my recycling bin. In general, if it goes in your blue top (general) bin, especially bagged, they don't bat an eye lid. They only have an issue with things in the recycling or garden waste bin that shouldn't be there.
