When i remove top soil from a customers property it's waste, but when i sell it on..has to be similar to trees etc

I never look at it as waste . After all it is a reusable recycled product . Chipping for gardens , Timber for logs , simple;) . Tis not waste .

I had a conversation with environment agency a few months ago on this matter.

My firewood business runs from a local farm and we had to get authorisation from EA first. After pointing out to them their own position statement as mentioned above they agreed that timber, logs etc was classed as virgin timber and therefore not waste.

It's all about classing it as virgin timber, which is not a waste product..... calling it recycled material is a dodgy one as according to EA, ALL recycled materials are classed as waste.

I was advised to print out their position statement and keep a copy to hand incase any one should query it!

Another business operating from same farm was making all weather equestrian surfacing from sand, shredded carpet and shredded rubber. The EA inspected and decided it was waste due to it being recycled carpet and rubber, the farm owner was duly interviewed under caution and given a severly slapped wrist......he can't do anything without informing them now. They don't have a problem with logs though!
