After busy weekends in the business we often used to take a carload of trade waste to the tip and pay Viridor £6.80+VAT for the privilege of dumping it. So this morning I loaded up the trusty jam jar and headed up to Whitfield. Now that Biffa have the contract, the minimum for trade waste is £54.25 +VAT. So the rubbish is still in the back of the car.
For loads under 100kg that's an increase of 697%.
