waste carrier license

[DurhamSparky]

Just got one today on the advice of "our" lass....!

local force(s) held a joint op to stop and search ALL Vans on public roads including vehicles inside scrap dealers!!

Sweet...!! dont fancy a fine...!!

only £153 for a 3 year one!!

 

[Geordie Spark]

Haven't they got anything better to do?

 

[DurhamSparky]

easy pickings!!! lol..... they are clamping down on Metal theft but to do that you need a big net to throw and unfortunately it lands on people going about there day to day jobs (i was told that normal business were issued with a 10 day notice to obtain license rather than a fine) however the scum were arrested and had vehicles siezed!

 

[Geordie Spark]

Oh .. ok ................ maybe not so bad then.

Will play dumb untill caught. Honest officer, thought it was only for waste collection companies!!!"

My mate - a builder/roofer bloke - got stopped by plod t'other day.

Plod told him he was looking for a cowboy who had charged an old lady £60 for replacing a tile on her roof.

My mate asked plod how much HE would charge someone to drive to the premises, take ladders from van, climb onto roof, fit new tile, climb back down, put ladders back on van & drive home again & that's not counting the purchase of the new tile & having to go get it, nor the cost of running the van & insurances etc. !!

Plod couldn't answer.

might not get let off and still got to buy one as well...!!

any way you dont need one if the waste you carry is only off cuts of your own cable or pipe.....!!

Not being funny mate I know your missus is a rozzer but why do the police wonder why people give them a hard time? They are there to uphold the law. Taking waste from your job to a recycling plant is not against the law, or certainly shouldn't be. When I had all my gear pinched I had to wait 12 hours for someone to turn up, have a bit of a nose and tell me not to keep tools in my locked garage. All I needed to do if I needed attention from a copper was pop down my local scrapyard with something to recycle, or try selling newspapers in the street whilst some peaceful protest is going on.

Maybe I'll just fly-tip it all in the future, as responsible recycling at local amenities is obviously a no-no.

Theres always one that has to split hairs !!

As usuall E54 misses the point, maybe it is only a £30-40 job but does charging £60 really warrant officers stopping all roofers and acusing them of being the £60 cowboy

That really is nowt better to do!

I didn't miss the point at all, i simply answered the question posed to the policeman...

''As Usual''??, i rarely miss the point to any post on here, whether it's right or wrong!!!

I also don't suppose it ever occurred to you, that the policeman was only using the little old lady story as an excuse to have a look into the back of what might of been a suspicious looking van ...Who knows!!!
