Hi mate, been watching your videos and enjoying them. I’m from Yorkshire and looking at doing it myself. Would you be able to head me in the right direction of things I need to get regarding the waste side of things. Waste transfer notes etc. Cheers👍

[@gdson2378]

Cheers mate, And welcome. Will try and get that information on another video

[@namesanmanname297]

Interesting video, where did you tip the rubbish? You only showed half the journey. I'm interested in starting this and your help us really great. I would like to see the full journey, like getting the job, how you quote for the job, how you do it and how and where you dispose of the waste. This would be interesting content. Thanks and stay safe.

[@gdson2378]

I dispose of waste at Licenced waste transfer stations. You can search on google for local stations in your own area. As for getting the job, Most comes from Facebook and word of mouth. And I usually quote online, unless it a big job. Then I use the method I previously uploaded on my page

[@redmille1000]

Public liability insurance is a must, one mistake or accident could wipe you out, £150 a year gives you £10 million worth of cover.

[@gdson2378]

100% true mate

[@damianburchill]

Where do you apply for the best public liability insurance?

[@shaunp221]

Can you do a video explaining the paperwork you do for waste removals please? I've got myself a waste carriers license and go to a recycle centre for jobs but they never ask for paperwork, they just ask to see my license and quote me on each job etc. Loving the channel, keep the videos coming, really good content! :)

[@gdson2378]

Ok I will cover that in another video. Thanks for watching mate, Means a lot

Hi, mate how do you fill out a waste transfer note when doing a house clearance ?

[@ianchapman3158]

You should have the camera directed on you whist in the cab, just a suggestion.

[@gdson2378]

I am going to try some different camera angles in next vid

[@bengfromtheuk5658]

just found your videos happy to see a uk scrapper on here just like to ask one thing as im not sure so fort i ask how comes in alot of your videos you both don't wear seat belts when your on the way to the scrap yard ect don't mean that in a bad way but just wanted to ask you ?

[@gdson2378]

We should be. It's because I'm always in and out of the van so much I forget. Should really get into the habit of wearing it.

[@MrVxrman]

So to do it legally it's going to cost you a few quid to start. But as you say you have to cover yourself or it's going to cost you more if you don't 😉 Good video brother 🍻👍🏻

[@gdson2378]

Yes but can pay off in the end. Licences are for 3 years.

[@MrVxrman]

@@gdson2378 That's good to know🍻👍🏻

[@UKscrapper]

Does the haulage insurance cover you for collecting metal I got told you need hire and reward for picking up from streets great info

[@gdson2378]

Yes haulage is what they told me. Hire and reward is more aimed at people delivering other people's items. Kind of like a courier driver. That's my understanding and what was relayed to me by my insurance company

[@UKscrapper]

@@gdson2378 good to no because when I was trying to get hire and reward insurance was nearly 4 half grand

[@fru1t1]

👍👍

[@gdson2378]

[@AliMackMechanical]

Nothing good with being wet and cold. I have trade insurance as am mobile mechanic and have lybilty insurance. I carry many things in the back of the motor. It's better to have than not have I do work on customer's car's somtimes they will ask to see your insurance. I move metals normally car parts. Old engine's and parts brake discs am aloud to scrap car's one a month. My insurance cover me to drive any vehicle. To the value of 30 thousand pounds. Tbf it's not so bad as long as I get the work to pay it. Keep on scrapping

[@gdson2378]

Cheers Ali Mack. Thanks for the comment bro. Yea 100% better to have it and not need it.

[@jayburns7800]

Oh and need to change your camera angles like mounts on dash ect

[@gdson2378]

Cheers for the feedback bro. Yes I think that would make things better. I will see what I can do.

If you opt out of Public Liability insurance and then take someone on casual, do you need Employees Liability insurance?

[@gdson2378]

Yea you can mate. Not very easy to get started but separating all your metals can be worth while. You may have to do more trips to the scrap yard because of space.

[@paddyici6629]

Public liability insurance is a life saver, me and my dad were clearing a factory full of racking, one of the support beams fell and went straight through the roof of a little office, £8000 repair bill, liability insurance paid the bill and our premium went up by about 20 quid for the year, we were over the moon!

Now that is exactly what I'm talking about. I haven't had to use mine yet but will thank my luck stars I got it

I’d love to see a video about investment within your business. If you had £20k - how would you invest in your business? I’m trying to understand where the investment opportunity is to grow your business further. Keep it up mate - love to watch these videos.

[@gdson2378]

Ok mate I will try and attach to another Video some point. It would probably be to expand my exterior cleaning side. Purchasing new equipment ect.

Hiya are you charged a the recycling centre if you have a licence???

[@bigd7150]

Mine was 159 with card best £150 have spent done rubbish jobs for years

About the same for us. We also got the card, Much easier than paper copy. So much money in waste once you get started

[@Khatcherservices]

Hello mate I got told I can scrap where every I like on my waste and scrap license (Medway) but I can’t sale my scrap to let’s say swale scrap yards I can only sale to medway scrap yards .

[@gdson2378]

Never heard that before mate.

[@Khatcherservices]

Maybe you should check it . As I was going into lkm when the police with the licensing agency pulled me over and told me I could get a fine for coming to swale when I only have a Medway scrap license . .

it's better to have public liability insurance and not have to use it rather than not have it and then wish you had it

100% agree mate

[@ciarancheeseman7691]

What do you do with the rubbish after you collect it

[@namesanmanname297]

What did it cost to dispose of the waste, or did you take it to the local tip, and tip it as if it is yours, for free.

[@gdson2378]

No you cant pick up business waste and take to you local tip. We take them to waste transfer stations for a fee. If you separate the rubbish wood, general, hardcore ect, It can save you more money.

That's a real shame pal. Unfortunately each scrap yard has its own prices. Try ringing around a few different ones to compare. It all depends on what is happening in the current market.
