rubbish removal

[buckley plumb]

what do others do about the packaging when doing a heating job . always left with customer and explain on my quote . just done a job for landlord and forgot to list on quote as waste removal is extra - he now chasing me to remove the packaging and old aring cupboard shelves etc. well I did remove the copper for him

Take home then send missis to dump with it.

Just been robbed of £154 for a waste carriers license, have a feeling they'll be getting hot on it next year when the requirements tighten. I've always removed in the past but I'll be charging for it on the quote now to cover costs.

Most of ours goes in the bin at the local PTS, the rest goes in a skip on the site were on.

We take all our rubbish away then i take mine down recycle place on a sunday in my car
our other fellas do roughly the same.

Mind you any heavy stuff we dont want - out the back of the transits northbound on to
the M6 before a Mc Donalds at Lymn Truck Stop Centralheatking

 

[Centralheatking]

Nice one - never looked at it this way CHK

its his, he has paid for it

Take it away, pain in back side but little things please little minds!!

 

[EPH]

Wouldn't dream of leaving all the rubbish at the end of a job for the customer to get rid of. People want to walk back in the house and everything's done, carpets back and hoovered, work tops sprayed and cleaned, holes filled and definitely not a drive with an old BBU spewing black sludge and about 20 cardboard boxes from a boiler change.

Takes a very small amount of time and they're always made up. If they let us make tea and coffee when they're out I always make the apprentice make them a brew when they come home from work, they love it. Get professional and charge the extra I say.

Plumbing, Heating and Air Movement News - Pham News - Scrap metal License warning
apparently you don't need a permit for scrap as coincidental part of business

 

[Mike Jackson]

Different permit. You still need a waste licence.

Environment Agency - Waste carriers, brokers and dealers

The government have brought in a scheme of licensing for itinerant scrap dealers. They need a separate licence for each local authority area they operate in. Guy I use has had to get 4 and they're a lot dearer than the waste licence.

 

[rocketmanbkk]

I charge.

Just for time and weight. You never know how long you gonna be at the tip. Sometimes straight in, sometimes a big queue.

Packaging etc usually gets broken down and put into my recycling bin. If I am doing CH jobs it's usually as part of a larger project so there is a skip there on site anyway.

Im a big fan of hippo bags. They were used on warmfront jobs and its surprising how much you can fit in them. Never had a problem with them collecting either.
