Free DIY allowance
No DIY allowance wording published. Items list includes 'rubble/soil/hardcore (max 5 bags)' for booked car visits; no charge stated for residents in cars.
From Harrow'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
No permit scheme stated
Only cars can use the booking system. 'All vans will be charged and should report to the weigh bridge office' (vans pay trade rates above). Car-towed trailers need a booking and report to the weighbridge for checks; vans towing trailers are charged.
Do I need to book?
Booking required
Cars must book online (up to 14 days ahead, max 2 visits per vehicle per day); 30-minute slot; no entry without a booking. Pedestrians and trade waste do not book.
