What the council says about dates: since 2023 (government restrictions)
Free DIY allowance
'The waste amount of waste must be less than 100 litres and capable of being fitted into two 50 litre bags or a single item no larger than 200mm x 750mm x 700mm in size'; max four times in any four-week period; must be produced by you at the property where you live and not from paid works. (Second copy on the same page says '200m x 750mm x 700mm')
From Wolverhampton'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.
