This is a summary, not a complete list. If an item isn’t shown, check with the council before you travel.

Book a vehicle visit before travelling and bring the confirmation and proof of residency. Household building/construction materials are limited to 200kg, about eight 25kg bags, subject to material and site exceptions. Keep chemicals and flammable paint separate and ask staff where to place them. Carpets and some bulky items are accepted for disposal rather than recycling.

Remove bags or packaging before putting plasterboard in its designated container.

Only cement-bonded asbestos is accepted. Double-wrap or double-bag it in clear 1,000-gauge polythene and tape securely so staff can inspect the contents. Staff are not required to unload it.

Bring cooking oil in a plastic bottle and use the designated container.
