hi all, quick question, if you are transporting waste from gardens such as brash etc, are you classed in the lower tier. thanks

All our waste is recycled ie woodchippings go to equestrian centres / garden centres , All the log is sold on

 

As far as I,m aware this make's 90% of tree surgeons in the uk not liable for any licence fees . Red tape malarky . Although as soon as I put a couch / settee on my van I am breaking the law ? Anyway the later does not look professional so I dont do it ; )

I registered a few weeks ago. It's dead easy to do on-line. Just fill in a few boxes and you get the registration number straight back.

It told me that since I only transport waste from my own business and no building waste I was lower tier and I wasn't asked for any fee. Worth 5 mins to do so that you can just show your number if stopped rather than having to convince a jobs worth that it isn't really waste. It did say that there is a hefty fine if they catch you without being registered (since Jan 2014 as I recall) so for me it was worth the peace of mind.

well that was a peace of piss to do.

What a joke, but as said it's easier to do that in five minutes than spend 20 mins arguing with a jobsworth at the side of the road...

 

So that's it, i'm now a 'Registered Waste Carrier' !

I do more landscaping than tree work so im registered as upper tier & have been a registered waste carrier all my working life as I carry more than just green waste for the cost its well worth having the piece of mind I can carry waste away from any job legally!
