People are funny with rubbish, grass clippings smell so they don’t want them in the bin for 2 weeks waiting for pick up day. I know some people the hose out and disinfect their bins EVERY time they get emptied. Seriously who has time for that.
I quote a full green waste bale bag of $24 to take away full or not. That usually sways them to dispose of on site.

Ive never come across a stock van with anything more then poxy lighting in the back. A strip of 12v LEDs stuck around the perimeter of the roof dodgey wired into the factory light fixes that.

From what I’ve seen in the LDV, they have multiple cargo area lights on the sides, and the floor is a form ply sheet. The ceiling doesn’t have any insulation over the cargo area, that would be crap for noise and summer heat, I’ll live with it for a while to see if it needs improvement.

I use NAWMA at pooraka, it’s close by and not overly expensive, though cost is not really an issue for me, I on charge all waste removal with a margin to cover my time/wear and tear to get it there.
I don’t get how territorial lawnies can be, it’s not my problem you pay jim penman for “exclusive” territory rights, you’re only exclusive with other Jims not everyone. If I do a better job than you, then I get the business, that’s the free market at work.
