The first thing people think of for the disposal of their waste when undertaking such projects is the local authority tip. For much of your ordinary household waste, this would suffice, but for some waste types, Staffordshire tips will charge for disposal. Any charges you incur will be need to be paid by debit or credit card – no cash or cheques are accepted – so don’t forget your cards.
