Tile Disposal

[tiler tom]

How do you tilers go about handling disposal of tiles. By thay I don't mean "take them to the tip". If it is just off cuts I usually wait until sufficient hs ammased and then alternate between different tips so it is not noticable and looks like private waste but to those of you that do a lot of tile removal do you incorporate the cost of disposal in the price or explain you are charged for disposal and charge separatley giving the customer the choice of disposing the tiles themselves?

i will hire a small skip for about 70quid and i can usually get all the old sanitary ware and old tiles in,alternatively check your local paper as some guys uplift rubbish at a cost.Just incorporate it in your price,saves going back and forward to the dump m8.

Leave everything for the customer to dispose of, and explain why.

yeah, that was a question i had as more people will want the waste taken away, especially as around my way there is more and more apartments going up.

i'm having this same problem now. my local tip is now taking car reg numbers and making sure it is your local tip and that you arnt tipping business waste! there are only so many times you can get a new bathroom or kitchen fitted!

talking to a carpet fitter, and he reckons by law, all waste must be left on site!

but i do feel like a bit of a git for doing that!

any advise is welcome?

you officially need a waste carriers licence to legally remove in a commercial vehicle..Mark.

Here you go guys. This is what the law says we need:

Do I need to register as a waste carrier or broker?
This information will help you work out whether you need to register as a waste carrier or broker, or whether you are exempt.
Carriers

Unless you qualify for an exemption, if you want to transport controlled waste in England and Wales as part of your business or with a view to profit, you need to register as a waste carrier. However, you don’t need to do this if:

• you are carrying waste that you have produced UNLESS it is building or demolition waste;
• you are moving waste between different places within the same premises;
• you are transporting waste from outside Great Britain to a place within it and the waste is not landed in Great Britain until it arrives at that place.
• the waste is being transported by sea or air from a place in Great Britain to a place outside Great Britain.

Charges
The current charges (2007-08) for registering as a carrier or producer of controlled waste are:

• Registration of carriers and brokers: £144
• Renewal of registration: £99
• Registration of a broker who is already registered as a carrier of controlled waste: £38

Hope that is helpful. Just reminded me that I need to stop taking my rubbish away or build the cost on to each job I do. The stealth taxes in this country are a total joke - talk about a barrier to us fellas being in business!!
