    Hi Lee

    Have a trawl through some of these waste discussions: http://www.landscapejuicenetwork.com/page/search-results?q=waste+re...

  • I specifically exclude it: easy now the free version of the license means I can only take green waste.

    I found it too difficult to price. Customers would want an old trampoline taking to the tip, but assumed it would be free for me (as it is for them). By the time you factor in time, high cost of tipping, emptying out the van to take waste, it just wasn't worth it as the clients felt I was overcharging them.

    Simpler to say get a skip, or use a waste company, and then let them see the real cost!

  • Paul the waste license then is free to tip green waste.
  • Where do I get that please it would be really appreciated.
  • Use the link below. Beware of other sites, as they will charge you for what's a free service!

    You just need to go for the lower-tier if you only carry green waste, your tip should be asking for it.

    Don't take metal to the tip and be charged - weigh it in and get paid instead :)

    Do I just show them the environmental certificate at tge tip then

    Yes that's what mine do and then they put it in the system so you don't need to show it again.
  • Seth can I use any tip. Cheers
  • Thankyou very much everyone you've been really helpful.
  • You will still have to pay to dump green waste, even if you have a license.
