Because they are not registered waste carriers. You can carry your own
waste to the dump but not somebody elses. This is why many small jobbing
builders or gardeners leave the rubble or clippings behind. The
householder can dispose of it as it is their waste but the builder/gardner
would need to be registered with the EA as a waste carrier (£149/3 years,
£99/renewal) if they took it away. Add to that the waste is now trade
waste so they can't take to the normal public dump without a permit and
possibly another charge...
