Council's price list

Free DIY allowance

Each Hampshire household may dispose of DIY construction/demolition waste free 'up to eight 50-litre rubble sacks or four single items per 4-week period'; part sacks round up; the full allowance can be used in one visit. Origin household address given at booking.

From Hampshire'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.
