    Ask them to produce the dockets from the tip.

    They probably trucked it just around the corner to some bloke who needed some fill, and charged him for 200 m3.
    That'd be a good plan anyway.

    Standard practice. When I had my truck and bobcat we never paid tipping fees, to expensive, better to drive for an extra 1hr at $75 an hour and give it to someone that wants it. Never charged people for it unless it was 100% clean, did use to charge them to move it around and level it off though

    I once removed about 40 tonne of moss rock from around a 1970's pool, dumped it all at my landscape suppliers in return for some credit and he on sold it to the next customer. Client payed for cartage but it was still cheaper than cartage to the tip that was twice as far away and then they would have had to pay tipping fees on top of it (come to think of it I think I was being to nice that day).

    Now that I no longer have a truck and bobcat I have to pay the local guy $200 a load for him to bring me sand that he has been paid to dig out of a new pool hole.

    Probably went to a Lantrak fill site, or if there was decent soil to some one like Twiggs.

    I am in Malvern east
    I told them to deliver the clay which is 2/3rds
    to the Oakleigh Landtrak as they accept clay
    (as it is less that 6km from my property there would have been NO GHARGE
    as the contract has a 6km radius to dispose everything OVER 6km it is
    $2.20 per KM per Cubic metre OUCH)
