Solid glyc disposal

[Julian]

Possession is 9/10th of the law!

Skip went today, I've not heard anything but maybe they've not emptied it yet!  I did say what I would be putting in it when they quoted though.

As far as I'm aware they empty the load straight away, there's no money in full skips sitting around.

[Head Womble]

It depends where they tipped it, if it's gone straight to landfill you'll most likely be ok, but if it's been tipped in a transfer station it can take a couple of days for anything to filter back to you.

Almost forgot the other option, it may have been tipped in an energy from waste facility (burner), at which being combustible there should be no problems.

It was mixed though, lots of steel at the top, wood and some electricals, then glyc at the bottom.  I imagine they would reclaim any steel.

[Head Womble]

It's a good bet that the driver will harvest the metal before the rest is tipped.

[Tony]

Bizarrely they've just e-mailed me my order confirmation again (at 9:30pm?).


Edit: It's a collection receipt, it turn out.

It lists code 20 03 01 (mixed municipal waste).

mixed municipal waste’ arising from a light industrial unit
should have an accompanying written description which might read:
‘General non-hazardous waste from light engineering
consisting only of waste food from the canteen, paper, metal,
cardboard & plastic packaging and floor sweepings’

[Jamesrl]

So if I cut the cubies open and drop the solid glyc on to the floor then shovel it up I'm ok?

[Bill]

If you want something to shovel it into you could use a cubie with the top cut off!
