Anyone know what the position is with regard to registering or getting awaste permit or whatever one needs to do? I keep hearing horror storiesabout the Environment Agency having draconian powers to sieze the vansof tradespeople carrying any sort of waste without a permit. Googling forinfo I find NetRegs - "Do you need an environmental permit?" only talks about storingor processing waste, not transporting it, which I suspect may be where thenecessity for a permit comes in.The sort of waste I'm talking about is plumbing offcuts and oldcopper, brassware, lead and steel for recycling; plastics, wood, cardboard,maybe old tiles and bits of plasterboard & stuff like that which I mighttake away from a job (some of it inside my vacuum cleaner!) rather thanleaving for the householder to dispose of, that sort of thing.

Some info here mate, but like all Guvmint legislation its not in English as she is spoke leave everything with the client, having specified thats what I will be doing in advance. Ring your local council.

Yes, I'd say the position is that the concerns of tradespeople have fuckall to do with DIY.
