Obviously the whole system is a confused, confusing, bureaucratic mess, which could be designed to extracted as many paperwork fees as possible while incentivising flytipping, and making it all so difficult that fines can be picked off people like gooseberries from a bush, but... 1 - What is "waste"? Where is it defined? eg The 2011 Waste Regulations seem to be missing a definition. eg to pick something on the edge. If I as a self-employed individual take some broken paving slabs from Location A to Location B to be used as hardcore, is that waste? To my eye it obviously is not, but what does the Law say? If I have organised for location B to have paid Location A a tenner for it, with a receipt, is that waste? What about eg wood from a tree-trim to be used for as firewood? 2 - What is defined as "waste you produce yourself."? Cited from here. "Registration is usually free if you only transport waste you produce yourself. Otherwise, registration costs £154." 3 - Who needs to register for a license? Is transporting material between 2 of my own locations described as my 'own' waste? What happens if the person transporting material is a self-employed tradesman working for me? Any answers are most welcome. Cheers Ferdinand -
Following a comment from @Nickfromwales about once being asked by a QS to fill stud voids with plasterboard offcuts to reduce waste disposal costs, thought it would be interesting to discuss the pros and cons of doing so. What are everyone's thoughts? I can see the rationale for doing this on cost grounds, and the possible sound deadening benefits if using whole pieces well fitted into the void.

I thought this might be a useful thread to have around for the same question on different things.
