Hi Guys,
I have 2 different jobs both with 150 square metres to pressure wash and both clients have no where suitable to dispose of it.
I know both jobs are going to generate a lot of muck and sludge as not been cleaned in a few years.
I have a skyvac 85 (i know they have a new filter sieve with tank upgrade available (£500), questionable whether it would separate water from sludge?)
I dont want to the hassle of taking to tip that accepts vans 20 miles away and it would be too much for brown bin and wouldnt want to flush down a drain in fear of blocking.
Any ideas?
All i can think is trying some tights over skyvac drum to pour out water content on clients site somewhere and takeaway remainder in a wheelie bin to dump 20 miles away and charge extra £50 for the hassle.
We have had 2 letters from the council on separate occasions advising us that if we remove waste from a customers premises we need a waste carriers licence. The council know we are window cleaners and specifically included guttering clearing waste as an example in their letters.
If they stop you, you can be fined up to £5000.
There was a report of some tradesmen somewhere who never cleaned the rubbish out of their van. They had bagged up rubbish from takeaways etc. They got stopped and fined. I'm not sure of the final outcome, but it made no difference that it was their own rubbish.
If there is no way to dispose of the waste on the customers premises then I guess you either forget the job or hire in a mini skip. Add the skip hire to the bill. I think they charge £99 a day in our part of the world.
A total waste of resources I know. But I can also see why the regulation was made.
