    There are certain material that they wont accept as it's not recycable, yes, they've asked me and checked stuff on me before. Last time I was there for example they wouldnt take a fire extinguisher.

    nope - not just you. I've been quite a few times myself and have either been asked what I'm recycling or he'll have a look in the car. Don't be offended. There's only so much that they can accept.

    Eg last year, when the cold snap destroyed all the palm trees around. People were bringing the palm fronds down to be recycled, but by all accounts, these leaves couldn't be accepted as they wouldn't mulch down like the grass or other greenery.

    And if yer feeling like an education or even redecorating your place, you can always take home some books or full paint cans from the shed! :D

    I go there all the time and they always have a quick look in the back of the car when I'm coming in, so it's not just you OP. If I had a hatchback or saloon I'm sure they'd want a quick look in the boot. :)
