Any tips for dump visiting?
Yes, take a newspaper or a tool catalogue in with you (and a notepad to write your wishlist on), relax and take your time. Oh sorry, wrong sort of dump!
Our local tip used to be great, you could take more out than you took in and my next-door neighbour used to work there so he could get me stuff too. Trouble is, one of the guys got the hump because he thought he was being done out of money by the others (copper etc) and dropped everyone in it so everything stopped. Now they won't let you take anything at all . I think it's disgusting really, to take something away to reuse is properly recycling it, not chucking it in a landfill.
Quite a few people on here use freecycle, you might get lucky with that for some bits and pieces.
