Ref #38. My son in law is what is termed in recycling as a "tip rat", i.e. he works in a local recycling centre so I take heed. One bit of advice. Batteries - don't take them to the tip or take up the offer from the firm selling you new ones to dispose of them. Head down to a scrap metal place and weigh them in. I bought new batteries for my mobility scooter a while ago and headed off to the scrappie with the old ones to get a nice reduction in the cost of my new batteries.
