A chancer wanting to make some money cash in hand no doubt.  It isn't worth using them when if you are caught paying for a non-licensed waste carrier you can be subject yourself to a very heavy fine. Every so often the local papers have articles on this.The less waste you have the easier it is to dispose of.  We now accumulate so much stuff that it becomes quite a feat to repurpose, reuse, repair or recycle it.  If you are struggling with a missed collection you would probably benefit from taking The Rubbish Diet.http://www.therubbishdiet.org.uk/It's wonderful not having to worry if a collection is missed.Sarah: Have you tried freecycling those duvets?  I was looking at getting some duvets cleaned recently and noticed that Waitrose in West Ealing now has a cleaners there.  We usually only go there when we have something to pick up that we've bought online from John Lewis.  Although I think we still have a cleaners up the road so will probably use them for a serviced wash.  (Don't go very often nowadays! We prefer and buy mostly washable items.)I also looked at prices for duvets recently and was aghast to discover some costing over £10,000.  I'm allergic to feathers anyway.https://www.recyclenow.com/  - can be helpful for some things but ISN'T on everything eg on beddingwww.westlondonwaste.gov.uk  -  has some more ideas for second hand furniture and electricals and details of innovative repair workshops and swishing events etcLots of students unfortunately seem to be leaving home without enough knowledge of home management and don't pay Council Tax - which is another reason for them to not be bothered...  Be bothered - they need to be taught to be bothered - it is a shared environment!
