Thomas, if you wish to be a professional, would you not ask the professionals? In other words, your local council? Really, I do think that would be wiser for you because the last thing you want to do is upset them before you get started! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon email address on web site |

If for instance you took a part load of waste back to your house or premises and unloaded it waiting for a full load, then you would need a waste transfer licence for your premises which would then become a waste transfer station, which is a vast difference, and hugely expensive.

It is a VERY bad idea to trust them as far as you can throw their offices, until you have confirmation that they are a decent organisation. Here, Cambridgeshite Council Council is one of the most institutionally rotten organisations that I know of. Oh, no, it doesn't take BRIBES - well, none that I know of - but you can't trust it an inch. You DEFINITELY need unbiassed information when dealing with ones like that. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Not just your Nick, try the Isle of Wight County Council :-(((( I know the inner workings of said Council and I could write a book about it :-(( HOWEVER, that is because of the directives of the Councillors, the 'plebs' themselves, ie the workers who actually DO the work don't like it iether, but have to keep their traps shut ........... 'or else'. I have a fine working arrangement with many of the Council staff and know how to go about getting things done, but that is by working with them and working the system. You are soooooooooooooooooooo right in telling the OP to get 'with the Council' and not against them :-)) Michael Crowe -- ------------------------------------------------ Royal Naval Electrical Branch Association www.rnshipmates.co.uk International Festival of the Sea 28th June - 1st July 2007 |

Like so many others, it is the organisation that is rotten to the core, but no person has the power to sort it out even given the intent. And, of course, the root CAUSE of that dysfunctionality lies in Whitehall (and at the door of the Blessed Margaret). Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

That's an interesting point because round our way, (Sedgefield) when one tries to hold the council accountable to their downloadable documents, one is labeled as a trouble maker. IMO that is why our council seem very reluctant contact me by letter. |

Don't forget if you take 'rubbish' home and do something with it.
You are then a processor, and need another licence, and planning permission. |

If your business is creating a huge amount of waste you could benefit from infill tax rebates. Have you looked into this? There's lots of schemes around ran by council. Check with this and possibly your local council website. If you can recycle your waste, you could even save money and do your bit for the environment. http://www.defra.gov.uk/ENVIRONMENT/...ment/index.htm |
