How do you get rid of an old bathroom suite?

[Phil]

Obviously all copper, brass, lead etc is weighed in and sold for beer money but what do you do with old toilets, dishwashers, baths etc,? my local tip is a fortune to use the weighbridge so I can't imagine many plumbers/builders use them.
Do you leave it with the customer for them to get rid of?

i aways state in my terms of contract that items like bathroom suites etc are down to the customer to dispose off unless its a bit job then customer sorts out a skip.
be careful when removing cylinders, pipework, etc from jobs as its not your property and if you take without asking it can be classed as theft. i aways say would you like me to dispose of the waste copper full well knowing its in my favour to take it, but you've covered yourself.

i always put on the quote the customer must supply a skip or remove the waste them selfs.
as for the copper, taps ect you now need a waste license to transport any waste this will cost you £150 for 3 years or £5000 if you get pulled transporting the waste

I usually pay a waste disposal firm to collect and legally dispose of old baths, sinks, etc., and pass the cost on to the customer (by prior agreement, of course). It usually costs about £30, but I always check first before quoting.

Copper and brass, of course, I keep for my collection if the customer agrees -- some do not!
