Free DIY allowance
'Each household is allowed to take 1,000kg of restricted waste each year' (rolling year); restricted (building/DIY) waste must be booked. No per-visit allowance or charge is described.
From Redbridge'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.

Permit needed: Free (booking)
Vans and trailers must book before visiting; van drivers bring V5C logbook to show weight. No vehicles over 3,500kg, no Luton vans, vans with tail lift or tippers. ANPR cameras in use.
