Any waste produced by tradespeople or builders you hired to carry out improvements, repair or alterations to your home is classed as business waste. Always ask a tradesperson to include waste disposal in their quote.
From 1st December, if you are using a van, pick-up truck or a twin-axle trailer to dispose of household waste you now need a permit. Please visit the van and twin-axle permit page for more information.
You will need to register for a permit if you plan to hire a van or twin axle trailer for a short term hire. You will need to take your hire documents to site with you as an operative will ask to see them. Please allow 2 workings days for your application to be processed
For health and safety reasons, PPE must be worn when recycling or disposing of your household waste at the waste transfer facilities. These are working industrial sites where council and high sided vehicles go.
Previously we were able to provide shared PPE for residents to borrow, however due to Covid-19 we are currently unable do to so. You must bring and wear your own.
If you do not wear the correct PPE, you will not be able to dispose of your waste and recycling.
You must wear:
Please take your recent council tax bill, annual water bill or utility bill (gas, electric or landline telephone) relating to the property where the waste is from. You can bring a printed copy or show it on your phone. Please note mobile telephone bills are not accepted.
If you are using a hire vehicle please take your hire agreement documents with you.
