I was at the recycling centre in Dartford earlier, and there was a set of four white five-spoke alloys with Ford centre caps. They looked in OK nick to me (although I'm no expert). I'm not sure what the etiquette is though, whether you can just turn up and ask if you can have them?

They'll have gone by now. But perhaps ask the people that work there?

Ask the lads there if they're going cheap and offer them £20 - they'll counter and you got yourself a haggling battle...

They're no good for me, it was more of a public service announcement

Our local tip has just opened a shop for the reusable stuff, however they take the best stuff and sling it in a box transit ready for car boot on the weekend. Used to get all my bike parts from there but health and safety stepped in and unless it's been checked and gone through the shop you can't have it, even just for parts.

Nothing at my tip , they stand around and tell people to out things down they that they want instead of chucking them . The car battery table seems to have dissapeared as well , prompting you to ask them where to put it and being told right buy there feet ... next to the usable cycle , working strimmers , lawnmowers etc .
So nice of them to help , absolutely no chance that they end up in there car boot at all .

Absolutely no chance of taking anything away from my local recycling centre (not a tip anymore). Ive spotted a couple of bits I've wanted to take and been told in no uncertain terms not to remove things from the bins.
