Would I be unreasonable…..

…. To take baked goods to the tip for the staff there?

Parents recently deceased, selling their house (sob!!) getting rid of a lot of stuff, charity shops, family, local hospice and tip.

The staff at the tip have been so helpful (not just to me, everyone one who goes) we are still only allowed one person to take rubbish to the bins, I have been 7 times in 5 days and my brother took heavier stuff twice. I took more than 30 bags of wet, smelly garden waste and they just got on with it, told me to take the dry things.

They help get stuff out of the van and dump them, always helping, not hanging around chatting and just telling where to put things.

People I’ve mentioned taking them some homemade cakes/sausage rolls have said no! That’s weird!

Is it?!

We are definitely not allowed to give them money.

I agree with shop bought. A friend of mine used to bring in home baked cakes that her toddler had 'helped' to make (not envy).

And a home made cake or sausage roll will be vastly better than even Waitrose shop bought cakes.

Depends who is cooking it lol

This is such a lovely thing to do. Reading stuff like this really cheers me up. They probably don’t get as much acknowledgement or thanks as other professions so I think they would be very touched and appreciative of your kind gesture. The staff at the local dump in my town are also really lovely and helpful too.

Yes it's a lovely idea. They spend all day pulling grot out of the wrong bin and putting it the right bin. They will have the immune systems of an ox and will not give a second thought to your food hygiene, so if you enjoy baking and want to take homemade this is fine. It will be appreciated.
