Environmental Permits from Env. Agency for carrying waste

[jose]

Man i have been working for people in this game for 10yrs and have never even heard of this!

 

Think i may try to get the exemption. How much do it cost? Proberly £150 + Vat knowing the gov.

[Paul Smith]

An exemption if free!

[hesslemount]

I have a Para 21 exemption and I tell everyone I know to get one!

 

Spread the word Deer Man!!! How did you get one, how long did it take, under what circumstances do you get one, etc etc etc. This is great news. Living, breathing proof that we no longer need a waste carriers' licence. 13 pages of forum eventually come to fruition. Please post a comprehensive word in the forum so we can follow your example.

If you're stopped with a load of brash and you don't have a waste carriers licence then tell them it's a load of bio-fuel. If you're stopped with a load of old pallets, it's kindling - if they argue the toss tell them it's not waste but a product of zero value. I know of someone who collects old wooden fruit crates from markets to use as kindling, the stallholders are glad to get rid of them for free - zero value.

Stuff like pallets is (under the legislation) waste.

 

"virgin" timber IE, it was a tree, before you cut it up, is NOT!!

 

Your mate might be better giving them a token payment of say £1 for a truck load.
