do you think it would work

[elliott EGD]

we have recently offered thiss service on thiss forum to arb company's in and around the southampton area( http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/employment/34975-trunck-removel-site-save-time-effort.html )we have made a few pickups in the past lifting trunks over fences walls and off road areas . not much take on it yet but i think it would save companys with out the equipment to recover such amounts of waste a lot of time . say half a day ringing up an oak trunk and walkin out to transit making 3 loads and clearing up all the mess. or uss crane the trunk over 2 fences dident even have to fell it on the old boys lawn hour with the cup of tea and a chat but it relys on people keeping you in mind for such events

In Rome we used to just stack everything roadside and a lorry with a 20 cube container and a grab (the kind you get in scrap yards) would come in and take it all away for about 300 euros a load. Complete waste of time and cash imo, a chipper and a firewood guy is the best way i found. Your groundies chip it all as it comes down and the wood gets stacked for the firewood guy to collect. I dont think your idea will work here because everyone has chippers but if you are the firewood guy then your in if you can make it pay.

Depends how much work you have, if things are quiet its better pending time rather than money.

 

Also if your doing fire wood its going to be rung up when you get it back to the yard anyway, so ringing up on site is no loss.

You'll be in competition with skip companies. You know, the ones with proper lorries, waste licences, qualified staff etc. Yes they're quite expensive but they are completely no hassle and you can normally get them wherever you're working (as in wichever village hamlet or town) they normaly have quite a large operating area and overlap with others so you're always covered.

 

Why not go and talk to some of your local skip companies, see if you can come to an agreement. They place the skip, customer fills it and they dump it at yours. You'll need a license of some sort no doubt (not my area of expertise) but you'd need that anyway.

The skip company will save some money not having to pay landfill sites and may aquire a few customers extra (if you do a bit of networking with your local arb companies etc) and you get the wood to process to firewood and chip to collect for biomass.

You quite right but if you have a fillin job that can be done that day its gona be a bumper day have only picked up for other companys we know so far. But its somthink that will only be asked for if conditions suite any ways. I beleve if you running as a company you should hold a waste carriers licence any way regardless of the amount you store or carry there not that exspencive
