COLLECTION METHOD


ALL LORRIES ARE SELF LOADING WITH A WEIGHLINK ATTACHED SO THAT EACH GRABFULL IS WEIGHED BEFORE BEING LOADED ONTO THE LORRY. THIS ENABLES THE CUSTOMER TO DECIDE HOW MUCH POLYTHENE HE / SHE WANTS TAKEN AWAY AT EACH COLLECTION. PLEASE HAVE ALL THE WASTE AT ONE SITE ON THE FARM WHICH IS ACCESSIBLE TO THE LORRY FOR LOADING – i.e. AVOIDING LOW CABLES AND BRANCHES.

COLLECTION CHARGE


THE COLLECTION CHARGE IS ACCORDING TO THE WEIGHT COLLECTED FROM EACH FARM. THERE ARE BETWEEN 5-600 AVERAGE CONDITION BALE WRAPS TO A TONNE WITH A CHARGE OF £120 PER TONNE PRO-RATA – THEREFORE YOU PAY FOR THE EXACT WEIGHT LOADED.

THERE IS A MINIMUM COLLECTION CHARGE OF TONNE.
Customers who have less than the minimum collection charge can get together with a neighbour to make up the t (ie £90 for any weight up to tonne) if they wish. All the waste can then be collected at one site and each farmer only pays for their exact weight loaded.

* A separate charge applies to containers.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS A ONE-OFF REGISTRATION FEE OF £30 & VAT (WHICH IS PAID ON THE FIRST COLLECTION). IF TWO OR MORE FARMERS HAVE A COMBINED COLLECTION AT ONE SITE, THE REGISTRATION FEE IS THEN REDUCED TO £15 EACH.

THERE IS A REDUCTION IN CHARGES AS FOLLOWS:
Over 5 tonne collected at one site £110 per tonne
Over 7.5 tonne collected at one site £100 per tonne
Over 10 tonne collected at one site £95 per tonne

THE WASTE TRANSFER NOTE IS PROVIDED ON THE COLLECTION DAY AND MUST BE KEPT ON FILE FOR 2 YEARS
