Well done 👍 

 

You know they’ll probably fly tip it further down the cut: Be prepared to reclaim your old mattress 😃

 

Nooooooooooooo

They are not flyby night, I can assure you.

To be sure drive the boat slow til Silsden.

I don't think I can get mattress out of the boat, and I'm pretty sure I can't get it any further!

 

Well if you can't get it out of the boat then how to dispose of it is a moot point.

Two people can get it out just not me on my own, it has to negotiate the cooker etc. It's a beast.

I'm getting a single plus expensive protector, this will give me a bit more space and I can flip it over once a month as recommended.

Who was this please?

I've found a mattress recycling firm, it's £45 approx.

WOW Mattress Online remove from my room!

Too good to be true!

 

 

 

 

UPDATE,

I think mattressonline are the same company as Skipton Bed's and Sofa where I bought my mattress, no hassle over removal, or boat!

I had a huge oil leak just there with a bikge full of water too, and they let me take a couple of the dumped five gallon kegs from the site to pump it all into, then take it back to dispose. Very much depends on who you talk to I think at these places.

Think they expect boaters at Middlewich; there is a temporary mooring there for them after all!

I went backwards and forwards with armfuls of plastic bottles full of diesel/oil/bilgewater mixes from a couple of leaks and filter changes and all they said was where the oil disposal thing was and boaters were supposed to use the same entrance as cars

Had a response from CRT suggesting I take it to local tip, how I could do that I don't know.

I pointed out the CRT do a K&A disposal, at least according to this forum. I kinda understand all this, in fact I'd not want the CRT to run any uneconomic service, I assume they did a cost benefit analysis on the K&A and decided to uplift and dispose, possibly to landfill, eeks

FYI it looks like the Middlewich tip is due to close this summer

BTW a very good tip is in Selby. Just walked across the road with used oil, got told where the tank is and disposed of the oil, no drama needing 2 forms of ID and a car nonsense 😃
