Rubbish Removal - TilersForums.com

[Andy Allen]

Do you get rid of the rubbish for your customers?

 

[John Benton]

Only if I hire a skip, otherwise they get rid of it. I always ask if they want to pay for a skip. If its only a small job I always bag waste and leave it outside for them to take to tip.

You got an issue Andy?

If they ask..... I'll charge them and put it in the skip of my next customer.

I have done without a waste transfer licence but now state they need to get an outside source to remove or get a skip if there is enough to fill it.

 

[Old Mod]

Yep I tell them I'm not licensed but I'll arrange removal if they wish.
Did it with Porcel Job tho, cos the prep was down to original builder I put it on their bill, made client happy!
But what I did was buy the 4.5yd hippo bag, took the clients rubbish, that filled one corner.
It's now on my drive waiting for me to put the other 4yds out of my garden in it!
Thank u kind sir!
It was my tip from the builder for correcting his work!

If I supply materials I will take the waste away(tiles,P.B.,timber,adhesive etc)
But if the customer supplies just the tiles I will have all the offcuts tidied up into an empty adh bag and put by their bin or edge of the property.

Register as a waste carrier, broker or dealer (England) - GOV.UK
Free lifetime license for sole traders, or was when I registered
I sure its been posted before but worth doing again

Thanks for this. Do I only need this if I pay to dispose of the waste?
Where I live (Lancs) we have to pay a small fortune and apply for a permit every time we take the van to the tip.
Would a carrier licence do away with the permits and payments?

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..

What's the difference. ? ....Once you have been paid they have paid for the tiles as well....
