If you get registered with your local authority for rubbish dumping - you can show the pass when you call at peoples houses and it shows you are not a 'cowboy'

Nice thought, but I suspect that registering with your LA for rubbish dumping is a non-trivial process, because you will have to be able to demonstrate that you are not dumping anything which needs more specialised disposal (asbestos, chemicals etc). To do that you'd have to demonstrate that you knew all about such items and their safe disposal, which is an extremely non-trivial process.

I wouldn't even think about offering to do rubbish clearance in a 'normal' car, because if the team at the tip suspect you are taking rubbish on anything other than a personal domestic basis, they'll ban you.

Actually its not that difficult - you can do it with any Local Authority -you need to apply for a licence and pay a fee - they have people at the dump who assist you to divide up the various types of items you have on your load.

So in summary you can and it is easy

Hi Dave,

What do you do at the moment?
What do you know about setting up and running a business?

I never imagined I'd have my own business. 1 year on and I wonder what it felt like to sleep at night.

If I had my time again I'd go for somthing that people will allways need like food or clothing. But the ideal would be somthing with little or no compertition.

What ever you choose the grass is rarely as green when you get there. Working for someone else won't get you rich but you might keep your hair.

I wish you the best of luck with it anyway and remember "He who dares wins Rodney".

There is good money in doing the cleaning that no one else wants to do if you have the stomach for it. Such as cleaning houses where someone has dies but their body isn't found for a while.

I once attended an auction at a large office that had closed down - they called the staff in at 11 and told them to go straight home. That included the cooks who had been preparing lunch. It was all left as it was for a few months. The stench even after the place had been cleaned was simply horrendous. Some brave soul bought the kitchen fridges and freezers (which had been switched off, of course, with the contents still inside).

If you have experience of the building industry and your good with numbers, Energy Assessor (not rubbish HIPS a commerical one) is a growth area offering EPC certificates. Every new building needs one.

You could train for less than 3k and get PI for about £600PA.

I have never come across one who is earning a full time type of income. They though they would but found themselves needing to supplement the earnings with other part time work.

you've mis-understood. EPCs for commerical buildings (offices industrial units) are massive business, as is build regulations compliance calculations. i know several individuals who are turning down work for new build EPCs who are turning over well in excess of £50k pa per person.

i personally pass on a lot of these every year cos we dont do them.

these shouldnt be confused with HIPs which are a pile of pish as you have outlined in your post

Not I have not misunderstood as I have handled a split before I retired (running my own agency) comprising of many commercial but it could be a regional thing as no one to who I spoke seemed to be at all happy. But this was the last I was into it so thing may have picked up since mid 2008.
