Book every visit using the correct vehicle/trailer category. Separate upholstered seating from other waste. Plastic bottles are collected for recycling; pots, tubs and trays are not included in that recycling stream. Furniture, mattresses and paint may be accepted for disposal rather than recycling. Only your own household waste is covered.
Order the council’s asbestos bags and permit first. Use only those bags, securely wrapped and sealed. Select asbestos in the visit booking and enter the permit number. Contractor-removed asbestos is not accepted.
Not accepted
- Business and trade waste
- Car, motorcycle and trailer tyres
- Car parts other than batteries
- Hazardous clinical waste and sharps
- Commercial cooling appliances
- Heating-oil storage tanks

Trailers
- Trailers accepted
- Yes. Select the car booking for a small trailer under 6ft × 4ft internally; larger trailers require a van/large-trailer booking. Van, pickup and large-trailer visits are limited to one per day. If a van tows a trailer, waste can be carried in one or the other, not both.
