I have just read the comments about waste oil and domestic rubbish in the skips. I completely understand the problem with oil. What is meant by domestic rubbish? Does that include the domestic rubbish off the boat? If so, what should we do with the rubbish from the boat? I always put the bottles in the bin near the club. Allan

Not sure if this is politically correct but I did have a chat with Jock when they took our skip away due to the oil and harmful wast accumulated in the skip. Whilst trying to get another company to leave a skip with us there was a lot of harmful waste left on the ground, some very dangerous to animals and maybe small children playing in the area, these were items of thinners, paint tins not sealed correctly,paintbrushes etc, So maybe this is what they mean by domestic waste.

perhaps we can arange for a specialist chemicals disposal point (for oil, dirty fuel, paint, thinners etc.) at the club?? -can it all be mixed up ? They have them at most local council 'household recycling centres' AKA dumps.

There is a place in one of Jock's sheds for oil, batteries and probably other chemicals. I was just concerned at the use of the word "domestic" as I always try to empty the bin on my boat when I leave. Allan

"Domestic" in my opinion implies non boat waste. The skip as far as i am aware is there to support waste generated by working on the boats, not the waste from a day sail etc. It is an expensive exersise having the skip onsite, I believe it should be respected. I do agree about the chemical side, which i will bring up in the next council meeting. James

That was exactly my concern. What I need to know is where I should put the waste from my boat when I get back from a trip? Skip or Biffa bins? Allan

Biffa bins can be used for domestic boat waste, that is why the club has supplied one in the centre of the car park.
Where we stop with chemical waste, it all costs the members money for those few who cannot remove their own mess

Many thanks for the reply Ray. In future all my "domestic" boat waste will go into the Biffa bins. Allan

Yep, I didn't realise that either, but used the Biffa bins rather than the skip on getting back yesterday.
