We have to ‘click before we tip’ now.

Anyone else’s council introduced this?

We can’t just turn up at the tip now, all has to be booked in. I hate that absolutely nothing in spontaneous anymore. It’s ridiculous.

How long before they’ll add a fee?!

It's been like this round my way since lockdown.

Its very doable and means there aren't long queues for the tip

Ours has had this since Covid.
It actually makes things easier - no turning up and waiting an hour to go in as it's all pre-booked slots.
There are generally plenty of slots so you can book same day though.

They’ve been doing it Wales since Covid. My county (England) requires you to register your car.

I’m surprised this has only just happened for you, ours has been by booking only for a good 5 years now and you can only book 4 slots per month.
