Well done cushty

Giving the tips away see tryin to help brethren On thl out
. Plus you know it's not for everyone, getting stopped by the old bill all the time, being called a skip rat and told to f**k off on a regular basis, everyone that knows me well, know how I make a living but it's to much effort for most of them, and these days everyone is a mobile phone video grass as well, I get filmed almost weekly by some goody goody with to much time on there hands and usually I,m doing nothing wrong, they just don't like the look of me or my old truck, that's the down sides
c**ts mate stick ya two fingers up at them filming you probally toffs thinking there above you
it just goes with the turf mate when people see a flat cap and a 20 year old transit tipper they just assume the worse, I,m a bit old to be rolling on the floor with everyone that shouts at me, I think it sort of hurts people thinking your making money from things they can't be bothered to sell themselves, I love it and as people get more and more wasteful it just gets easier, like yourself I have a few other ways of making a living it's just one part of our life cheers

Hit the nail there I've seen people throwing nearly new sofas in to skips but slashing them with a knife just so people can't take it away it's stupid and you won't ever change some people sadly

I was watching old police camera program on YouTube last night,and they was. Watching old fella with an transit going round taking stuff from the rubbish points from flats etc,they actually made him put back a really knackered cat scratcher .
hope they did,nt show my face

It is amazing what you find in skips these days.     TC

As you say fair play to him, I'm sure if he puts the graft in (whatever he chooses) there will be opportunities to make a few quid... a man and a van is a useful commodity... house/shed clears, rubbis

where theres muck theres brass

2 years back,maybe 3,i was tipping waste at the local tip,chatted to a man and woman who have or had as maybe they arent there now 2 20 foot shipping containers sited there,they collected anything and everything that had a resale value,old bikes,dyson hoovers,anything and everything that could be scrubbed up or repaired and sold on,they own two houses locally and they dont live in a bad area so property isnt cheap as chips,they make a very good living indeed but to look at them or chat to them they dont look as if they have a penny between them to scratch their arse with,as you said where theres muck theres money,its a truism.

 

My mate and his brother done it for years, unreal the gear people throw away, but they was in a peach of postcode ;) not spoke to him for years they are probably still doing the tip contracts.

This is also in a very tidy postcode mate,not a million miles from weybridge,an affluent area,as soon as you go in the tip,which they call a recycling centre theres a cage filled with flat screen PC screens and TV's,the couple pay the council to site their containers there and fossick through the stuff,i know a guy whose missus threw £2200 away into the bin in a carrier bag once so i know some people who work in recycling centres must come up trumps on occassion.

all those flat screens have several grams of gold in them for those that know we're to look and can be arsed to retrieve it, i,m in my 50's and every year I still find new things that I never new have a resale value on them,

through my eyes there is around £200 sat there minimum

However breaking down caravans is a right boring and hard task even when you get the decent aluminium sheeting cladded ones

Take the Ali off then put petrol on the rest, afterwards when the ash cools down you've got your scrap

chassis wheels and tyres are wanted for trailers, water pumps and water heaters sell well on eBay, and the ally is just a small part, that covers your diesel, that's why there are so many people breaking caravans,

Chimney sweeping, realistic start up budget £2.5k excluding vehicle. Be prepared to put a lot of work into advertising, do not skimp on equipment, especially ppe and don't mess around customers. Spend the bulk of the equipment and training (yes, really) budget with https://rodtech.co.uk/training-c-82.html and don't waste money on membership of any of the associations. Expect to spend the first year earning back the set up costs and building the foundations of the business.

 

If he doesn't mind heights, ladders can bring work tv aerials, chimney cowls, broken / slipped tiles, gutter clean / repair. People generally accept paying good money for these type of jobs.

I was meaning statics rather that tourers mate, the reason I'm scrapping them is usually because the chassis is rotten and the floors are falling through, got a mate who lowes welding and he makes trailers out of tourer chassis

Shame people down bother doing round here, I'm often seeing dumped caravans by the road side.
