Crawley’s New Tip

Posted by Jez on September 27th, 2006 at 03:43pm

It’s not like me to rave about a tip, but if it didn’t smell as bad as the old one, Crawley’s new tip would be a breath of fresh air!

A high tech, state of the art rubbish dump is what Crawley is. No, wait; did I finish that sentence too soon? A high tech, state of the art rubbish dump is what Crawley is setting itself apart from other Sussex towns with (with lesser tips).

Fastway Bus Service? I would rather have a dump!

The new rubbish disposal point in Crawley is everything that that Fastway Bus is not; Namely useful. I would say that the Fastway bus is also full of shit but how can I? It is always empty when it rolls past me, with the driver looking slightly embarrassed that he can’t be trusted to drive a normal bus, that he needs one with stabilisers that Noddy would be ashamed of. But I have drifted off the point. Which is that at least someone in authority knows how to make a decent decision regarding public amenities. The new tip, whilst looking like the Millennium Dome’s little brother’s tip, has a drive up ramp to ensure easy off loading of the car load of rubbish, a low wall to drop stuff over, lots of parking and friendly attendants. It has the very best in recycling opportunities that I have ever seen. All in all, worth the trip! Even if you have no rubbish to dispose of.
