But would you be prepared to pay for the additional expense of having it environmental disposed of by a waste disposal company?
To be fair it’s not that expensive to dispose of less than £20 at most places
Any tips on finding a registered waste disposal company/site? Looking at google, I can find lots of companies that will come and take away waste but that wouldn't comply as my house would be a waste transfer station! I can't find any that I could take waste to. Is there a special name for sites that take commercial waste?
I think it's the logistics of getting it there. We did a gutter clear on Friday. 2 x 30 litre drums full. We would need to carry a plastic drum that would hold the clearings, so we can carry it away? How much does the waste carriers licence cost? £255 + VAT that lasts 3 years from our council.
We have several near us but no idea in your area I would Google it or contact your local council and ask them
Ok I thought the waist carriers licence was free ? You just apply to the local council as far as ime aware ?
Are you sure a waste carrier licence is £255+vat? I just looked here: Register or renew as a waste carrier, broker or dealer and it seems that as long as the waste is customer generated - they use garden grass cuttings as an example, then for sole traders, partners or ltd it's free.
Yes that’s my understanding I know a few Gardiner’s and they dont pay for a licence it’s free . They have to pay to dispose of the green waist at the dump though
I got onto a different website. There was the choice of an upper tier and a lower tier. The upper tier is the price I quoted, the lower tier was £25 + VAT but didn't offer a free option. I felt the upper tier was more relevant. Thank you for finding that.
We don't have anything like that here.This might help you, still touch and go if fully compliant and I don't know if it covers your area

I would imagine any company that operates skips would handle the waste at their depot.
Cheers, we used to use that service when we had holiday flats - they charged about £120 for the 'licence' then about £2 a bag. I think it only covers certain businesses - I don't think it would cover gutter muck plus I am now just outside the Blackpool Council area.This might help you, still touch and go if fully compliant and I don't know if it covers your area

When I worked in a scrap yard that also processed waste they accepted anyone with a waste carriers licence, and there were quite a few other sites. It's now become harder, and much more expensive, to find somewhere that allows vans in.
I did a lot of work with Recycling Lives in Preston, Red Scar Industrial Estate, and they used to take rubbish from anyone with a licence but that's 10+ years ago so might have changed. If you're really stuck I'll ask a pal that has a scrap yard not far from you, Poulton, if he knows anyone.
That's very kind. To be honest, while I have looked into taking the waste away I don't intend to offer it as a service unless I can help it. It's more finding out what I would need to do if I won a big job that required waste removal.
I too have found customers are fine with either their green bin or on the garden. I was more thinking that there could be occasions that being able to take the waste away might be handy to win the job - if it's a decent one
