if you dont carry waste you dont need 1, do you

Is wood chip waste ?? I sell all mine and I sell all my wood to , never carry waste on my van

Don't forget the sandwich wrappers+ bannana skins
classified as waste I'm afraid

there in the cab

So are you saying all van and truck drivers need a WL, because they have their lunch in their vehicle????????

when vosa pull your load of chip over,and one of the lads has had to take a dump in the back there earlier,i dare say they may ask for your liscence.

Be worth it just to see their face

We have a license and for the small cost it gives you peace of mind if you need to carry say some thing like old fence panels or a bit of rubble from a job.

Also, I was told during a spot check that anything which is taken off a building/development site is waste, I am not saying that's fact but its what the guy said. I didn't bother to verify it because it doesn't affect us as we have a license.

I have written conformation from ea that we do not need a waste carriers licence now. That's one less expense

The wording suggests you are exempt if YOU generated the waste.

So - if you chip a pile of brushwood for a customer (or another tree company) you would need a license. A good reason to decline the 'While you are here could you just put that randomly stacked pile of Sh!te through your machine?'
