When you need to book

Book before visiting in a van, with a trailer or in a vehicle modified to carry additional volume. Restricted or DIY waste also requires a booking, even in an ordinary car. Hire-vehicle users must bring their hire agreement.

Take DIY waste to your own borough’s site

Residents of Barking and Dagenham, Havering, Newham and Redbridge can use the four-centre household network. Restricted DIY waste must go to the centre in your own borough. The allowance is four visits in four weeks, with up to four bulky items or 400 litres of loose material over that period.

Separate reuse and chargeable waste

Keep goods suitable for reuse separate from recycling and general waste. The commercial services at Frizlands Lane, Gerpins Lane and Jenkins Lane are chargeable; Chigwell Road does not accept commercial waste. A household booking does not authorise a commercial load.
