What the tip charges

We didn't find a published price list on the council's tip pages. Check with the council before taking anything unusual.

Free DIY allowance

The council's pages didn't describe a free allowance.

In England, councils can't charge householders for their own DIY waste up to two 50 litre bags, or one item up to 2000 x 750 x 700mm, per visit, for up to four visits in four weeks. They can charge above that. Check your load.

Vans, pickups and trailers

Permit needed

Council page: vans, any vehicle towing a trailer, or any vehicle modified to increase carrying capacity must book a slot in advance via ELWA. Small vans permitted; vans over 3.5t MPM must use Jenkins Lane. Luton vans, flat beds, vans with tail lifts and tippers of any size not permitted at any RRC.
