Removing waste

[Benny Tiler]

Hi All

A lot of posters on here have mentioned about the license you need to transport waste. Well, if you were thinking about taking the odd bag of rubbish home, read this:

BBC News - Drivers carrying waste targeted in Guildford crackdown



And I'll be the first to say it:

Haven't they got anything better to do? Because I think they have.

It is the law though.. no matter how petty it seems.. plenty do it and shouldn't be.

 

[Benny Tiler]

That's true.

Maybe lots more crack downs will be the answer. I just know when I go to quote someone who is on a budget and I put on there the hippowaste charge that cowboy tiling isn't and he's just slinging it his van.

Then probably dumping in the river!

 

[DHTiling]

I don't remove anyway waste.. i have no waste carrying licence ..

And have no intentions of getting one, after all it isn't really my waste, it is the customers, they buy the tiles and adhesives etc...so i didn't bring it with me..:lol: so why take it away ..

 

[TT Tiling]

better there than byside the road

 

[mikethetile]

I dont carry waste, got stopped before and im on a warning

 

[ricmrc]

is this true?
if i rip out a bathroom and take the rubbish to the tip,(which i have to pay through the nose for anyway), i 'm breaking the law because i don't have a license?
thats crazy

 

[mikethetile]

its true

you need a waste carriers licence

 

[DHTiling]

Its the law.. not crazy.. it has been like this for years..

Its true but you cant take it because 1, you have no waste carriers licence and you need one because you are trade. 2, because you are trade you probably cant take it to your local tip because they dont accept trade waste.

Its all a joke because whether I or you take the rubbish from a job, we can be challenged either by the carriers licence or at the tip by being trade. Yet the client can throw the same rubbish in the boot of his car without the carriers licence and use the tip t dispose of the exact same rubbish that we cant.......:mad2::mad2::mad2:

Oh come on Dave you can't agree with this law!?

What does your brother do when he rips out a kitchen? just leave it in the garden?

I always pay for a rubbish clearence as it's easier than me taking it away but sometimes i'm running a few jobs so I might have a large skip outside one of them and want to move waste from the other to that skip but I can't because of this law

Who is this law aimed at? what does it stop exactly? Do you think it stops those few who go and dump it in a beatuty spot? I haven't seen any reduction in that.

But what about the job with just 1 or 2 bags of rubbish ? A skip ?

The amount doesnt matter, 1 bag of rubbish on a traders vehicle needs thos stupid licence.

That's my point Neale, I might have a job that creates a lot of waste so that's fine but if I won't to take the odd hand full of bags from other jobs to it then I, We can't

If somebody can come up with a good reason why then i'll accept it but until then I will consider it another stealth tax

There are these inventions called skips..:lol:.. and i don't agree with the waste licence but does it stop fly tipping then NO it doesn't and if no licence was there it still wouldn't stop fly tipping.

But i don't intend to get a fine either for trying to remove waste.

 

[mikebidd]

In my eyes its just one more license that they can make money out off you with, I do know a few lads that just run a estate car now instead off a sign writeen van.

Theres a guy local to me that got fined for transporting waste and he was using an estate car...If you are trade you are trade !
But what if i refit my own bathroom? can i use the tip now? NO! still a trader...so as a member of the public my rights to use the council tip ( which i am paying for) are not valid ? ....NO, you are trade! :mad2::mad2: Can i have a refund on the tax i pay due to not having access to the tip i pay for...No!

 

[Scott]

You can still use the tip for your own goods, you will have to take them in the car though, ir inour area you can get a permit to tip with the van with limitations on what you can take.

 

[diamondtiling]

I get 12 permits per year for my household waste being carried in my van, I have changed my kitchen tiles 12 times in the last month.

:smilewinkgrin:


Seriously though, I dont take rubbish away, it all goes in a skip. If the customer wants it removing then its £53 per van load (under a tonne) to a commercial waste site.



Plus vat.

:smilewinkgrin:

 

[Scott]

Wait until October, my local skip firm told me its going up to £88 per tonne plus vat!

His price on a 6 yard is £180 plus the dreaded

Its a customers bill, not yours. The waste came out of his/hers house so they pay, otherwise its left at their address.

 

[doug boardley]

I take my trailer quite often to customers houses, I'll fill it up with what I've used, and then they can take it to the tip and dispose of it. If they don't have a towbar I'll take it at the weekend using my wifes car and just charge an hourly rate. It's a good service I think and the customers always seem happy with it too.

 

[Scott]

Its all part of the service as i see it. If i have work done at home by other trades they take the rubbish with them, whilst it may have come from my house, they made it! I find leaving it behind the same as not sweeping or vacuuming after i finished their ob, after all thats thier mess too.

 

[Sean Page]

it's a difficult one, I think it's part of the service, but the customers don't like paying for it. I'm starting a bathroom rip-out and refit on Monday and I was just thinking that they'll have to order in a skip to clear the rubbish.

 

[Ajax123]

What happens if you want to dispose of your waste carriers licence.........:smilewinkgrin:

Empty van today - so took an old settee to the tip (got nothing to sit on now!) and while we were there a lady in a big Porche 4 wheeler (similar to X5) was being harraunged by the tip worker for bringing files and boxed papers to the tip -'that's business waste' - no its from my son's bedroom she said -'what all this from his bedroom'.
Who said Hitler died in a bunker!

No doubt she couldn't put it in the paper recycling bin there

"sorry love you can't recycle here"

 

[Rob Z]

Man-oh-man, I thought we had some problems here with getting rid of trash from the job! :mad2:

I'll stop complaining now.

 

[doug boardley]

been ripping out the in-laws bathroom and father in law was clearing as I was stripping it out. I told him to keep plasterboard seperate from the other rubble in my trailer. Did he remember? NNNOOOO!!! so, he's gonna have fun when HE takes it to the tip😳

 

[Scott]

Do you know what happens to the plasterboard waste? I did ask at the tip a month or so back, bloke says it just goes in a different hole in the ground, something to do with gases?

Its one of those materials that comes from a natural source so dont really understand the science behind it, all i know is it a pain when you de-tile and de-board at the same time and all the tiles are still on the plasterboard. Glad i dont take my own stuff to the tip!

 

[simon1]

Out of curiosity, what does a licence cost and for how long (1 year then renew) and what is the fine and where does the fine money go??

In my opinion it IS a stealth tax

 

[Gazzer]

£154 for 3 years then renew after 3rd year £104 at the moment approx.
