What we can't accept

We cannot accept any of the following:

• Waste from a commercial business – your district council can let you have a commercial bin, subject to a charge. See also Environment Agency (opens in a new window) website for private disposal sites.

• Waste left with a householder by a tradesperson.

• Over 50kg of rubble and soil.

• Asbestos - more than two roofing sheets or two metres of pipe. See our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) page for further information.

• Tree trunks and branches over 150mm diameter.

• Scrap Vehicles – see the Recycle Your Car website (opens in a new window)

• Large items of fitted furniture.

• More than two window frames (with or without glass) or two doors from a DIY project.

If you are planning to carry out major refurbishment work to your house or garden we recommend you consider hiring a skip as part of the project.
