not quite! The permit simply allows you to transport waste, pretty much every self employed tradesperson needs one technically. In leeds there are 11
council tips. Only one accepts trade waste, even though most have weighbridges. All the rest you have to blag its private waste, which is tricky with
regular volumes - it also counts as illegally dumping waste!
Trade waste is billed at about £54 per half tonne.

I was under the impression (because it's what I did last year) that you are allowed to transport your own waste, you just need a license to
carry it for others (and presumably charge them to do so). I've just registered as a hazardous waste producer and take it to the transfer
station no probs. Cost £18 for the year I think.
Mind you, I've had to register a site that the waste is coming from (and it always comes from that one, honest guv' , so may not actually
be helpful if you're at different sites all the time...
