Skips, sorting and scrap. Get paid to take it away, then paid again for what is in it.
A waste firm earns twice: a collection charge from the customer and whatever the sorted material fetches, and it is the gate fees and landfill tax on the residue that decide whether the job made money. Card, plastic and scrap metal prices are set by world markets, so a good month and a bad month can be the same lorries doing the same work. The Environment Agency permit is the licence to exist, the skip lorries sit on a goods operator licence, and a fire in the yard is the thing that ends firms.
