Waste Carriers Licence

[helpsy]

How many of you have this? Just about to apply, so I can get an 1100L bin to put in my garage to get collected when full. £15 each collection.

Here's an idea that works well, when you've finished piling all the rubbish up outside. Take a pic, go on facebook on the buying n selling pages, post the pic and put underneath, I will pay £30 to have this lot removed asap....theres always someone out there who will shift rubbish. We did this today and someone with a waste license is calling tomorrow to move the whole lot...job done.

I might try that. Was just about to get a skip fir 150 sheets to get rid of about five bogs 3 baths 3 basins and several rubble bags full of broken tiles which are currently on my drive.

What is there to worry about, we advertised **** for shifting and a valid waste carrier has picked it up. Nowhere did I imply that we would let just anyone take it and fly tip it in the nearest field or back alley.
Sounds like you need to get a life, sifting through fly tipped waste for names and addresses...whats all that about ??? Are you the Gestapo or what ??

Its a fact it is annoying to see rubbish dumped - but im sure if it is reported to the powers then they will investigate.

It is also reasonable to advertise to get rubbish removed cheaply as a man in a van can do it less than a skip co with a 7 mpg wagon.
I cant see a problem if its all above board.

Fact is a bloke with a pickup can tip it for 60 quidish legally.
Perhaps do half a dozen to a dozen small jobs and still make a honest days living all above board.

Carpet fitters were in my gaff , did loft and stairs.... Two blokes 5 hours ..... £120. Left rubbish .... £50 to get rid or trip to tip

Rubbish lad earns more than fitters!!!!

 

[deandive]

I never bothered, always told the scrappys they could have the boiler rads etc as long as they took the rubbish........... never left anything incriminating in there though just in case. just had to buy one as its a requirement of the contract im on, £150 what a rip off

so I fit the odd bathroom. most of my waste I take to be weighed and get paid. So what use is the licence to me? Is there any local location I can go, show licence and dump my bath tubs, basins etc? If not, then I fail to see the benefit of the licence.

if you get stopped whilst taking your waste to be weighed in, you could be fined if you don't have a waste carrier's license. That's the benefit to you. There have been quite a lot of stop and searches in my area recently so I got one. You decide what level of risk you want. Given that you can get away with a FREE lower tier one which takes literally two minutes to apply for online, it's a no-brained to me...

 

[village idiot]

Thanks mas. I will go for the lower tier one as adviced.

I just done it. Took less than five mins. Done on the phone[emoji3]

 

[village idiot]

Sorted. Lower tier and lasts indefinately except you need to upgrade. NYCE

 

[village idiot]

Anyone who doesn't get one now, is asking for trouble. Masood will say: ''I told you so''

 

[SimonG]

Just registered online, well worth a few minutes.

Nah, I wasn't planning on getting one until they started random stops recently. Then I found out we could get free ones, happy days! Just wanted to share the joy - I didn't even know there were two tiers until a few days ago!

If anyone wants more clarification I have the contact details of the lady in the waste carrier licence team of the Environment Agency...

 

[dancinplumba]

Now they have all your names and you are licensed, license fee will double next time

Its free. They can double it every 6months if they like. [emoji3] [emoji3] [emoji3]

 

[village idiot]

They can tripe the licence fee for all I care. I have their confirmation saying my registration lasts a lifetime. So they ain't getting naught from muggins here.
To be honest, I had been planning on getting one from when my customer reported me for drinking in van. Van was searched and I thought before long, I will be done for not having a licence! Now I've got one. Happy days
