What the council can and cannot do
Five items for £38 covers a three-piece suite and two more pieces, nothing more. The council also refuses bagged rubbish, doors, sheds, baths, toilets and sinks, pianos and builders' waste, which is a lot of what turns up in a full house. Car loads can go to the Tameside tips, and vans need a free van permit.
