Recycling frustration

[MEhelper]

I work at a recycling centre in Surrey! we are not allowed to take anything ourselves or give anything to the public thats the official line anyway something like a guitar would go into the Reuse container (sometimes ) for which a man has paid for a contract to collect all such items!

I came home from the tip with a very good condition WEM Clubman amp the other day.

I was at our local tip once chucking stuff and quite a bit was still usable but it was at the time that charity shops didn't accept leccy items and I couldn't be bothered eBaying them.. anyways there was a big box of old videos and someone who was also tipping said 'ill give you a tenner for those' so I said okay and he gave me a tenner and put the vids in his car; thats when a worker came up and said I shouldn't have done that, jotted down my reg number and said that is one strike against this vehicle, 2 more and its banned... , so all the still usable which would normally be put in the 'still good' container I smashed up in front of him and it went into the skip.. I know it was petty of me to do this but he proper wound me up.

I'm sorry but what right does he have to tell you what you can and can't do with your own possessions? I'd have been inclined to make a complaint against him for harassing you when using a public service that you pay tax to support.
