Rubbish Removal

Now if it was something of value,say scrap copper or perfectly good sanitary ware(It does happen sometimes)
would the customer be of the same opinion?
 
Might loose a job because I can't (or rather won't ) remove the waste......got to rip out a shower area that's been leaking, not my job btw, so about 7 m2 of tiles all the plaster board shower door ect so not a small amount.
It's a nightmare going to the local tip, vans have to be booked in to go there, told him I can bag it all up for him to take f.o.c , or he can get a skip and we can chuck it in there......but he's adamant my price should include the waste removal. ....which it doesn't state anywhere on my quote it dose..

Well if he's adamant that you should get rid of it, requote with the cost of removal on. If it's coming out of his house, it's his rubbish. Just tell him you're not a licensed waste carrier so you can't get rid, only by a skip. I did one for a customer a few weeks ago, he told me he would get rid of rubbish, till he saw how much there was. I then organised a drop and fill from a company, 2yd skip, 10 mins to fill after its all bagged up and it was £90

mines in my T&Cs mate, i bag it and will place it where ever they want but thats it
 
I take rubbish if the customer is elderly and guys at my local tip are ok as long as you're not sign written. I do state 'rubbish removal not included in price' on all my quotes but make the odd exception(plenty of tea and good manners).
 
There's a good chance you'll need to pay for it, if your carrying your own waste they seem to class that as "Waste carrier and Dealer".
