Falkirk Council

Called bulky uplift; the booking form (falkirk.gov.uk/bulkyupliftform) redirects to an online application system. Attempted to deepen the item list this run but this session's WebSearch quota was exhausted (200 of 200 used) before Falkirk's query could run, and direct WebFetch to falkirk.gov.uk and to general search engines is blocked by network egress in this session (confirmed on retest). No new item-list research was possible this run; list left as the generic site-wide default rather than guessed. Needs a fresh attempt with search budget available.
