Rubbish Removal

[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?

 

[J Sid]

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

 

[White Room]

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!

 

[On one]

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....

I will take away materials I have supplied,but I'm not taking away their waste materials when there is nothing in it for me.

 

[Old Mod]

Hippo bag @Andy Allen £99.99-£169.00
Give him new quote with price of bag!

 

[On one]

Now if it was something of value,say scrap copper or perfectly good sanitary ware(It does happen sometimes)
would the customer be of the same opinion?

Well if he's adamant that you should get rid of it, requote with the cost of removal on. If it's coming out of his house, it's his rubbish. Just tell him you're not a licensed waste carrier so you can't get rid, only by a skip. I did one for a customer a few weeks ago, he told me he would get rid of rubbish, till he saw how much there was. I then organised a drop and fill from a company, 2yd skip, 10 mins to fill after its all bagged up and it was £90

Exactly mate....got no problem getting a skip or a hippo as long as he pays for it. ....but he seems to think my price should automatically of included waste removal. ...lol

I've just done a dummy fill out of the form and it wanted £154, I'd assume that that's because of plasterboard and other building waste. 99% of jobs I'm on now have a skip so it's not something I need really.

 

[hmtiling]

I take rubbish if the customer is elderly and guys at my local tip are ok as long as you're not sign written. I do state 'rubbish removal not included in price' on all my quotes but make the odd exception(plenty of tea and good manners).

 

[Old Mod]

Well he did say it must be included in your price, so then u give him new quote as John has said!

 

[White Room]

There's a good chance you'll need to pay for it, if your carrying your own waste they seem to class that as "Waste carrier and Dealer".

Well u can't automatically include something you're not licensed for, now can u!
But I always state, Removal of waste not included but can be arranged!

 

[Brian the Tile]

No ,not allowed on the tip in a van,and at the end of the day who's rubbish is it anyway, i have had customers say to me are you taking your rubbish with you

Thats exactly right - since when did you become the owner of rubbish from their house

It's amazing how far good tea,good biscuits and good manners gets you.

Are you a limited company? If yes that's why you pay I believe.
I am sure you need this license to transport any waste, even if it's from materials you have supplied.

Your right on that....and a top fine of £5000 if caught without one

We have to pay for inert waste disposal now - domestic or otherwise. And we can only get 12 bags per year.
So you pay your council tax and now because all services are privatised they want more profit.
Hence the "environmental surcharges" - to save some polar bears.
