I am also in the construction industry and have found that this rise in cost is increasingly difficult to pass on to the client. However before I start to get peoples backs up with my whinging, let me first give you some reasons as to why landfill tax has become so high.
- The UK's inability to recycle effectively skip hire prices
- General poor eduction on recycling
- No incentive recycle (privately or commercially)
This of course will have a massive impact on especially in the UK where available landfill is sparse.
Let me know your thoughts on what solutions are available or perhaps some you have thought of yourselves.
