How much should we expect to pay, for disposal/removal of 10 tonne bags of wet leaves/branches?

In my local area if I took this to the tip, I would be able to dispose of it for free, so I'd hire a big van, e.g. a Luton, and take it myself. A day's work plus, say, £100 van hire.

The key words are highlighted. Every local authority has it's own rules. In some places you'd not get very far unless your van was registered and you had a permit. So, good for you, but the rest of us need to know what the rules are before setting out to save money like this!

In my area even cars have to be registered, came about after problems with cross county border tipping

Yes, I was once into CBT. Oafishness on the part of council staff in Bath, plus the extreme nature of their queues meant that I'd take my stuff to Wilts, where the private enterprise guys were pleasant and more accommodating.....and they sold compost!

I know of this happening between two counties in Wales. Due to the location of the site it is much quicker to get to the HWRC in the neighboring county than using their own counties one.
