Free DIY allowance
'You can dispose of up to two 50L sacks (or equivalent) of DIY waste free of charge. This limit is per visit, with a maximum of one visit per week.'
From Hounslow'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.

The tip and opening hours
Opening hours are our short summary of the council's page. Bank holiday and Christmas hours often differ.
Good to know
Space Waye uses the Government's Digital Waste Tracking system for trade visitors. A no-booking Mon-Thu trial ran to end of October 2026, so booking rules may change from November.
