[dmb]

Hi All,

I have been in the vehicle sales business for a number of years, however, due to the recent downturn in the market I have decided to would venture into the Vehicle Dismantling (new & used parts) side of things. I would be very grateful for any advice on obtaining a waste management licence and the costs involved in doing so..I was advised that there are consultants who specialise in the area of waste management, and i would be interested if anyone has used their services and could advise me in the costs & Fees involved in this..

Thanks for your help...

You need to contact the Environment Section of your local county council, they can advise you and send you out the necessary forms or you can download from their website. In terms of granting these licences, I think the country is divided into 5 regions and 1 council in each region is responsible for the counties in their region.

It is possible to hire consultants for this, but the forms are not difficult to complete, especially when it's for something as specific as vehicle disposal. It's around €1,200 for a licence (i think). You also have to advertise your intentions in a newspaper that covers the areas you wish to operate in. The council will also give you a sample ad that meets these requirements. Then you have to send in your completed application within a certain number of days after the ad was placed.

I hope this helps, it's a few years since I worked in issuing licences, so some things may have changed. But your first port of call should be your local council.
