What the tip charges
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Rubble / hardcoreUnverified: the only readable copy of the DIY page says 'up to a maximum of 6 standard rubble sacks (or a standard car boot load with the seats up), per household, per month', then £2.50 per bag (payable to SUEZ); that copy carries a 'Get ready for Brexit' banner and predates the Dec 2023 rules, so not recorded as current | No charge published |
| TyresUnverified older copy: max 4 per household per year | No charge published |
| AsbestosUnverified older copy: bonded sheet asbestos containers at Mangotsfield, Yate and Thornbury, max 6 sheets | No charge published |
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
Only registered vehicles can use the Sort It centres (unregistered vehicles turned away). Van/trailer rules could not be read.
