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!

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 ..

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]

you need a waste carriers licence

 

[DHTiling]

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.

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.
