Does anyone hire out things to collect chip and logs

Forgot to add. No we don’t take green waste. I used to let a couple of lads tip green and fence panels on the fire pile for a small fee. I had to put a stop to this though as others who hadn’t asked took it upon themselves to tip when I wasn’t around and not pay and within a couple of weeks I had a monster fire which was difficult to burn safely.
We have toyed with the idea of getting a shredder and advertising as a tip site but went off the idea as you can’t regulate who comes onto your property.

See my business is green waste recycling so we get lots of people in but we share a yard with my dad so people can only get in if the Gates are open. If you had to leave the bin do you charge for that. And when you charge do you do this by charging the time you leave to time you get back.

I’m happy to leave a bin for a couple of days. I’ve got a couple of separate customers that are planning on buying their own bins that can slot into my system so that they have always got a bin and I don’t have to outlay the costs of several bins.
As for the charge yes the clock starts when I leave my yard and it stops when I return.

So if you have to drop you charge they and back twice. When you first started doing it how did you advertise it

That’s correct or if they can load straight away I’m happy to wait until it’s loaded it all depends what works and what’s cost efficient for them.
I haven’t advertised as I only really offer the service to the regular lads that use my yard as a tip site and existing customers of my site clearance and biomass business.

We could use this occasionally. Would only likely be once a year or so. Often in your yard.
