Taking waste to the tip doesn't work.  You are not permitted to bring food 
waste and packaging to the tip.

It costs $35 to go into the tip with a "boot" full of rubbish.

Take a trailer it's $90.

If you take a Trailer more than 1 a month, you are considered "commercial" 
and have to pay extra fees.

If you take a boot more than twice a month, you are considered commercial 
and have to pay extra fees."
