Once You Finish The Job

[RossR 14]

What do all you mole trapping lads do when you've finished the job, do you flatten the hills then hang up the moles? or just leave the hills and give the moles to the client to deal with?

If its a garden job i flatten them myself but on the farm the farmer harrows the field

[MAG1980 116]

And i leave the moles out so customer/ farmer see's the catch. Sometimes i disspose of them if asked too tho

I take the moles away and dispose of them but molehills are flattened or removed by the customer. If I'd had to deal with the molehills on my three jobs this week I'd still be there this Sunday.

I'm not sure about the rules and regs in France, but here in the UK if you remove 'waste' from a clients premises, you need to register as a waste carrier, and pay for disposal

 

For me, it's simple. I'm paid to catch moles. When I've caught them, they belong to the customer and are therefore their waste For domestic customers, they can chuck them in the bin (or I'll do it for them) and for farmers, they can do with them as they wish.

 

Interestingly, 'wild' animals are exempt from the Animal (By Products) Regulations....... that's the rules that stopped them doing on farm burial of livestock.

 

The trouble is; if it's waste that you generate as part of a commercial operation, then it automatically becomes controlled waste and you have to pay to dispose of it

I've only had two customers expected me to deal with the mole hills - both were Scousers!

 

The waste regulations only apply if you take waste off site in a professional capacity. I would imagine in virtually every case the tumps get disposed of within the garden by the householder. I don't know for sure as I leave it with them.

 

As an aside; over here dumpit sites in all the local villages are open 24/7 for disposal of masonry, soil and vegetable waste including tree prunings. And professional landscape gardeners or tree surgeons can tip their waste there FOC any time day or night.

Sorry Nicepix, I wasn't very clear in my post.... I was referring to removal of dead moles. I can't imagine why anyone would want to remove soil.......

Moles I tend to take away and leave them for the scavengers. I don't just dump them anywhere though. I take great care to drop them near to where the scavengers hang about. I know every Romanian caravan site in the area.

mole hills I leace for the customer to flatten , moles I take away apart from farms , where I let nature take its course.
