Just a quick  question. How many of you have a waste carrier license ?
Got asked if we had one when quoting for a commercial gutter clearing job yesterday

[sunshine windows]

You should by law have one if removing the debris from each job. I always dispose of it at the job.

[Nick Day]

As Sunshine says you do need one, just go on the Environment Agency website it will take you through the process it only takes 5 - 10 minutes to do.

[Smurf]

Or when quoting if you don't want the hassle make sure they are aware that any waste is their responsibility to dispose of themselves... Sorted 

[Tom White]

So, you do a large gutter clean, but there's very little debris in the gutters; you still leave that half a bin bag behind with your customer do you?

Stick it in their wheelie bin.

[Smurf]

Or on very large jobs they can always pay for a skip for all the waste. Not my problem...Sorted

[Madison Welch]

I had no idea you need a license for that 

[Nick Day]

We've got a waste carriers licence. Alex did it on line it was free of charge and has no expiry date.
The problem you could have is that if you were stopped by VOSA and your vac tub has any dirt in it (remnants from a job) you can be fined up to £5000.00.

ive got one takes minits to do on line

[Spruce]

We actually got a letter from the council warning us about this quite a number of years ago now.

Ever since then we leave the bags of dirt next to the rubbish bin for the customer to dispose of.

We don't advertise gutter clearing now but when we do do it one gutter usually provides enough muck to compensate for the other that is reasonably clear. We have one property where both front and back gutters slope the wrong way, so we can always be guaranteed that both will be chock a block with dirt.
