as i've been looking for something to occupy my time inbetween selling cars,was looking into maybe a recovery truck when i saw these
I know the principles involved but no idea where you take the loads and how much to offload,etc
My mate has a big yard for storage of lorry and skips so ok there.

Go and see some of the bigger local skip companies as many have there own waste transfer stations within the premises they run from. Most will allow you to tip for a fee around £20 a skip i think.
You may even find they use your skips and different business name for places that they want to do business in but perhaps cant.

Cheers, didn't think other company's would talk to me but worth a try,they're only midi skips but i like the idea i can use it on a normal license.

In theory it could be a good earner, but check the cost of offloading your waste.

You'd need a waste carriers licence from your local council, I think it's £150 for 3 years.

But this may change your mind..Operators licence..X amount in the bank(£5000min), truck needs checking every 6 or 12 weeks..You need to apply for permission and also advertise in the paper where you will be operating from. It's a minefield, hence why a lot of smaller firms use commercials that are under 3500kgs GVW
