Just looking on Ea web pages now, I know at least 2 local firms that are registered

 

Look Here http://www.netregs.gov.uk/netregs/275207/276315/1418523/ Like everything its open to interpretation!

My understanding was that its only waste when you've finished with it. Woodchip is being carried from the job to storage and timber is for fuel wood. However, a waste transfer ticket might be necessary if you drop of waste soil bricks etc from fencing work and drop in the yard prior to disposal. You are transfering it from truck to floor. I've met a guy who got a big fine. Stupid isn't it.

[Amelanchier]

We have one. Its waste if it doesn't have an "economic value". So as PeteB says, if you can prove you have a "use" for it, it ain't waste.

 

Pretty hard to do with road sweepings...

[Peter]

It was this line that most interested me.

"If you carry waste produced by your own business you don’t usually need to register, unless you produce construction or demolition waste."

Surely that is an adequate get-out unless you are demolishing trees!

[PeteB]

Your not demolishing trees, just converting them or even recycling them. Even the ash that results from the fire in the front room is good for the garden. Woodchips - biofuel, mulch, play surface, outdoor menage, footpaths etc...........

ive got one if you take stuff straight to a customer you dont need one if you take it back to the yard you dont need one but if you load it back on which is where the transfer bit comes in you need one
