Do we need to sit an exam or do they just send you a shiny badge when you cough up the money?

It's like anything these days, you pay your money and get your qualifications, oops sorry, license.

thats it. a license to carry, not tip. unbelievable.

better start believing it, because if you do get caught then you will know all about it.

I read somewhere that if it is waste you have created you can carry it but not if someone else has and you carry it. Also you the licence is for each borough or county so if you cross three counties you need 3 licences. Hope someone can clarify on here.

Have a read of Environment Agency - Waste carriers, brokers and dealers

One licence covers you for the whole country.

its not waste if your taking it home to burn to keep warm, its fuel.

I bet a fuel licence is more expensive....

Honest gov had to store it in the van, not enough room at home!!

my brother carrys a chain saw for cutting up free timber from where ever he can find it. Its his fuel source, is he carrying waste or fuel?

If I'm paying £154 every 3 years, I should be able to take my rubbish to the tip in the van.

And how is it that all tradesmen are supposed to just know, that they need this license? Telepathy? I've never had any correspondence about it from any body/agency

Very articulate post Tom.

I found out about it when my mate got done and asked on here.
