Is arboriculture agriculture

[igottacabstar]

Would be quite useful if i had some,could put them on the road on my yard..............so again not waste!

 

Or could be lobbed at pikey scum - an even better use.

What about the diference between logs, chips and hedge trimmings.

 

 

 

Who wants to keep hedge cuttings in case they become useful?

 

Compost them!

[Peter]

Compost them!

 

In that case you'll need a license to run a waste management facility.

[Mr Ed]

And planning consent for running a greenwaste processing facility....

Its no wonder that the cowboys use lay-bys and ditches to dispose of their waste, legislation is running away with itself!!

[Log-ologist]

I've carried dung and furniture, ballclay for a pottery, old wood , soil and crushed concrete, numerous salvaged sheds, garden pots and patio heaters, etc...

 

Its amazing what folk ask you to transport for a few quid when you have a tipper. LA's are hot on people going to the tip/household recycling centres round here so we often dispose of waste , at a price. I help the ground workers, plant nurseries , landscapers and fencers and they feed me treework. Money is money and be fkd if I want to travel 10 or 20 miles to just do trees when I can do a variety of jobs and go home for lunch most days. We also have a main road with VOSA check point 4 miles away, so for me its better to be safe than sorry.

Does this statement mean anything?

 

 

"The law says that waste is any substance or object that has been discarded, is required to be discarded or is intended to be discarded. The word ‘discarded’ has a broad meaning and includes those things that are going to be recycled or recovered. In fact you can only recycle something that is waste.

 

If you are handling materials that have been or are to be discarded you should assume you are dealing with waste. There are some exceptions to this but even if you are doing something useful with it or it is valuable, you can still be handling waste."

 

right there in section 1

 

that seems clear.

Even if you only move recyclable materials you need exemption certificates to store and process the material.

 

 

 

Regarding transportation.

 

When you remove a tree or a branch from a customers garden you are disposing of their waste and must have a carriers license, if they took their own waste to the tip they do not need to have a license.

I would find it hard to believe that thoes with council contracts do not have a license to carry waste.

 

We need a poll on this steve. Who has and who has not got a waste carriage license.

Perhaps I am not grasping this nettle too tightly, but why should a by-product such as logs and woodchip, which have a commercial value, be deemed as waste? If it does have a commercial value, and is not waste, why then would you need a ticket to carry a waste product that doesnt exist? Talk about a money-making scheme, getting taxed (for want of a better word) for non-existent things. meanwhile the cowboys laugh in our faces, and fly-tip their waste! (sorry, by-product)

 

going along the same lines i worked i n a a local quarry many years ago when all this european cr**p first raised its head, they first picked on the sizing of stone which had to become metric and not be sold in imperial sizes even though it went over the wiegh bridge in tons not tonnes, the final straw was the crusher run which used to be called quarry waste and was sold to surface local farm roads and yards etc, we were not allowed to call it waste any more because we would of been deemed to making money out of waste.

to come to the point ours is not the only industry to suffer and will not be the last.

I don't take "waste" away to recycle,i recycle on site with a device called a chipper

I do plenty council work and have NEVER been asked,but then they never ask me to carry waste,so why would they?
