    I get customers to dispose of them, if it's in a full refurb, there's often a skip on site too

    If there is not many tiles then I bag them up into black bin bags and tape up the end, and into the Domestic wheelie bin they go.

    Most of my work tends to be a skip on site. For smaller jobs if customer supplied then I leave it to them.

    Usually stack them neatly and put them out the back/into a trailer if they have one.

    If I've to take something to the skip, just a case of bringing it in the car and trailer in some clean clothes.

    Do have a weigh bridge at a skip hire company close by but don't have a waste transfer licence.

    Explain to the customer about waste so they tend to take to the tip
