Title: Waste disposal
Post by: CleanerCarpets on March 20, 2017, 03:44:08 pm
Whats the best way to get rid of the crap that comes off the driveways that needs bagging and taking?

Can't take it to the tip in a van - anyone got a good way of disposing?

With the residents agreement I find a spot in the garden to lose it, either underneath or behind a shrub, garden shed etc. In the last five years I've only had to bring the crud home with me on two occasions and that just went straight into the garden waste bin.

I do the same as Tony otherwise the big stuff goes in the customers brown bin.

I try and clean  towards the flower beds or bushes unless it's an excessive amount of sand which I will scrape up

As already mentioned I don't take anything away as a rule as it's their crap they can keep it.
Largest amount as of yet I've bagged for a domestic custard to get shot of was 16 black bags of pine needles etc on a domestic  house gutter job.  Good job they agreed in advance would get rid of it themselves as that lot would have not fitted in the van anyway. lol

I know I shouldn't but I sometimes I take the sludge to the tip in the boot of my wife's car and deposit it in the appropriate place. I find it's best to negotiate disposing of the sludge in the customers garden before you start the driveway clean.

We either leave it with the customer or charge to dispose of the waste, this option is defined on our quotation
