Disposal of roofing felt
This isn't strictly about DIY but here goes.
A contractor has quoted me a large figure for the job of replacing the currently felt-covered flat roof over my garage and part of the house, to include ｣1400 for disposal of the felt that will be removed before fibre glass is put on. I queried this figure and he said the felt is considered to be a hazardous material. It seems he's right, even if the attendance of teams of guys wearing chemical warfare suits won't be required. But ｣1400? The area is about 7 metres x 7 metres. How can I make some sort of check on what the disposal costs will be? Thanks, Harry |

Disposal of roofing felt
I recently helped my neighbour to dismantle a carport with a felt roof. Some of it went in a skip we had that was partially filled and the rest we disposed of at our local recycling centre taking it down in his fathers trailer. Neither the skip company or the attendants at the recycle centre batted an eyelid and we were observed and they were aware of what was being disposed off. Sounds like a nice little earner for the roofing company.

I rang the council's landfill centre and they quoted me about ｣170 per tonne if I bring it in myself. I also looked at websites of a few places that sell roofing felt, and it seems that the weight is about 2kg per square metre, so with about 50 square metres I'll have about 0.1 tonne to get rid of. I forgot to ask whether there was a minimum charge, so it may cost ｣17 or perhaps as much as ｣70 plus all the hassle of cutting it up and making several journeys in the car, but ｣1400 seems totally ridiculous. So now I'm sceptical about everything else in the quote too. Harry |

This is on top of a quote of about ｣10000 for replacing a 50 square metre felt roof with fibre glass. Please don't envy me for living on the scammer-rich Isle of Lewis. Harry |

It's waste from your house and can go in the general waste bin. But yes you may get hassle if they spot it, as they think you might be a roofer. The slow free way is to put some in the household bins each week. NT |

I could spend a few hours slashing the felt into 33 pieces of say 1m x 1.5m and do 2 or 3 journeys in a SEAT Alhambra with the back seats removed and 2nd row folded. That's a lot of slashing, but worth the effort for ﾂ｣1386 minus car fuel. Harry Hertz do hourly rentals of vans. Pick up at the local B&Q. That might save some wear on the SEAT. Many council tips won't let Vans in though... drive to one that will... -- "I guess a rattlesnake ain't risponsible fer bein' a rattlesnake, but ah puts mah heel on um jess the same if'n I catches him around mah chillun". |

It was a real problem the time before, when we turned up with a drop side truck. I hadn't read the web page closely enough, but they let us in, anyway. |

Our council requires us to have a residents permit which is free on providing resident proof to use the waste sites but they do take asbestos for free and vans are permitted on application for a van permit.

Instead of a wood burning stove you could install an "Any old crap" burning stove. Instead of ﾂ｣0.00 it could be -ve disposal cost. Prolly COULD burn it in the woodburner Burning old chipboard and bitumen is seriously bad for the environment and your neighbours. Stupid idea. Do you burn your old car tyres as well ?. |

I had a mate, who burned chipboard in his woodburner in his workshop. He had a lot of medical issues, and he got diagnosed with possible Motor Neurone Disease. Then, the penny dropped, he stopped burning chipboard, and he made a miraculous recovery. We can never be sure the chipboard was the problem, but it seems quite possible. |
