Hi, after 5 weeks of waiting Iv finally got my waste carriers licence (they told me it would only take 2) but never mind as my new junk/house/garden clearance business is now up and running and I can now go out and play with my tipper (cant wait) anybody else do this kind of thing for a living ? as it would be great to share any advice, help or stories.

im recyceling computers on and off i had a contract in london for 5 weeks not long ago with a computer recyceling company in london . Ive meet a few people who are in the junk buisness sorting recyclable from genuine waste can be a bit of a problem so im told then you have to find someone to take recyclable stuff fridges and crt screens are a prob most people charge extra for these as recyclers charge to take them in as processing is not that proffitable

yep im in the scrap , house/rubbish clearance , site clearance bussiness at the mo good money and no waste carriers liscence sod paying the goverment anymore money i just allow £20 in my price to purchase the waste that makes me the owner which entitles me to transport my own waste without a licence i have noticed the big double glazing companies are following suite on this one especially the one that begins with e they will have to think of something else now

Its good to talk with folk in the same line I could use any info I can get at the moment , where do you take your waste, do you get hassle without a licence and most importantly how much do you charge per average load? thanks........."Satisfaction guaranteed or double your rubbish back"

you can rest assured its gonna be BIG business very soon
I have a tip just 1 mile away from home, but they nwont let vans in and if they did i wouldn't be able to get under the height restriction The tip is in worcestershire and i live in warwickshire, they wont let me dump there because of this (they know my face now ) so i have to do a 35 mile round trip to go to stratford upon avon tip .......in the car which is the missus fiesta which dont hold jack in the back does my head in big time

plastics is a problem you need at least a tone before most plastics recyclers will take it there is a small plastics recycler somewhere in ranham that will take and possibley pay for smaller amounts
PCB scrap try f.w.church also in ranham

european metals recycling take fridges at certain sites. best for steel as well

Fj Church is manor way rainham for coppers and pcb,

Day 4 of my new business (with the help of my trusty Transit Tipper) twelve happy customers apart from one old git, arms and back screwed, good money to be made but the price to dump stuff is a major pain, had a few cans and looking forward to day 5

recycle as much as you can makes it a lot cheaper i.e get to know a guy down yer local tyre place he will take all yer rubber for a few drinks etc etc
