Tipping prices

[simonm]

Ive just started up on my own and have asked the farm where i used to work when i was younger if i could tip all my chip there im just wundering what you lot pay for your tipping? its a transit so prob a tonne of chip "roughly" per tip. what you reckon i should be paying?

[ecolojim]

if you're paying to tip it, id see what your local registered and permitted green waste site charges.

Zero.

 

If you need to hire some space at the farm then try and get a fixed price for a year, and as long as you can tip rubbish and crap logs etc then its worth it.

 

Woodchip itself is too easy to get rid of, shouln't be having to pay anyone for tipping it, but it does take time to build up a list of places that want it, so in the meantime I would say no more than ten quid a load? Really if the farmer uses it for anything then he should be paying you.

yeah i was thinking somewhere around £10 a load. ive also considered paying so much to rent some space for the whole year but ive come to the conclusion that if theres not much work comming in im still paying for that space for nothing.

we charge £30 a load for clean chip or just brush.. thats a transit size with high sides..

Try to avoid paying anything. When I started I arranged to tip chip in return for giving the farmer logs. He has now sold all his livestock and has a thriving log business and we have about an acre of land for storage and 2 story secure lock up for free

zero. I deliver it to a local nursery who store it for 6 months then sell it for mulch.

Put an advert in local paper advertising free wood chip, I have loads of dumps around my area where I can take chip to. Loads of people want it if it's free.

Are there any local allotments near you as all the growers that have plots cry out for chip round here, also try other farms as they use it for cattle bedding under the straw
