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 rules not stated

Cars, vans and trailers allowed. Vans and trailers: maximum 13 visits a year, booked between 10am and 4pm. Commercial vehicles, including flat-back vans or wagons and vans towing trailers, are not allowed.
