Regarding Sutton Council's new recycling facility, I was advised by email that it dealt with mixed automotive chemicals, oil-soaked rags, and used oil filters.

At the site, I was directed to tip the mixed automotive fluids into the used oil vat (probably not favoured by the oil recycling company) and the rest straight into the landfill waste containers.

The head of the waste department replied to my concerns advising that all of my waste materials should have been collected by the Corporation of London special waste collection service, which I had always previously arranged.

I would have thought that somebody would have known this below the level of head of department.
