Free DIY allowance
Council says 'HWRCs are free to use by only Doncaster residents in a private/domestic vehicle'. 'Restrictions are in place on the quantity' of hardcore/rubble/soil and of wood from a small internal DIY project; limits are in a separate 'Guidance on Construction and Demolition Wastes' document (not found). Building work waste is excluded from household waste.
From Doncaster's pages, quoted or summarised.
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: Free ('Permits are available at no cost to Doncaster residents')
Free digital Vehicle Pass (ANPR) for medium/large panel vans and cars towing single-axle trailers without high sides; 12 visits in 12 months. Not eligible: vehicles over 3,500kg, flatbeds/tippers, box vans and hire vans (use one-off booking). Cars and small vans under 6ft/1.82m need no pass (older page). Twin-axle trailers (max bed 1.80m) need a one-off booking. A pass 'IS NOT a licence to deposit waste'.
Do I need to book?
