Vans and vehicle permits

Privately registered vans used by Devon residents to carry their own household waste require a free van permit where the permit scheme applies.

A permit allows 12 visits during a rolling 12-month period.

Permits are not issued for business/commercial/work-use vehicles or sign-written vans.

Devon Household Waste Recycling Centres are for household waste produced by residents at their own homes.

Waste from businesses, landlords, house-clearance services or paid building/trade work is not accepted through the household service.

On each qualifying visit the allowance is either:

  • up to 2 rubble bags, or

Waste above the allowance is chargeable.

DIY waste generated by paid work carried out by a contractor or tradesperson is not accepted as household DIY waste.
