My local recycling centre (Council subcontracted to private company) charges for you to take stuff there (at least they did last time I tried to use it).

My local recycling centre has other stuff dumped in it and sometimes I come across fly tipping on roadsides.

What annoyed me about the charge last time I visited the council/sub-contracted recycling centre was that I was taking a load of wood offcuts which is recycled.
