Updated 2012 Edition
If you are into Tippers then this is the book for you!
London, like most cities in the world, generates a vast amount of refuse. After collection by local councils the rubbish is reloaded into contractors’ vehicles and transported to landfill.
This is the story of the companies involved in transporting London’s refuse, both domestic and commercial from the late 19th century to the present day, the vehicles that were used, their specifications and the consequences of what happened when things went wrong!
There are over 220 pages with over 440 photos some of which have never been published before.

"Tipping and tipping refuse in particular, is, has been and always will be a dangerous activity...accidents will happen but they would be far more frequent were it not for the skill of the drivers"
"Then all of a sudden the trailer wheel on your side goes through an empty fifty gallon drum hidden just below the surface of the chute. And away we go!!!"
"You hoist your eighty yard trailer up to the last and the only thing to fall out of the rear door is a crisp packet. Great!"
