This is a summary, not a complete list. If an item isn’t shown, check with the council before you travel.
Book before visiting. Declare DIY waste in the booking to claim the free allowance: two 50-litre bags or one item no larger than 2m × 0.75m × 0.7m, once every seven days. Extra quantities are charged. Tyres are chargeable and outside the free DIY allowance. Keep solvent-based paint separate for the chemical store; harden water-based emulsion for the residual-waste skip.
Only Ardley Fields and Redbridge take plasterboard/plaster. Remove attached materials and empty it from bags into the designated skip.
Book asbestos disposal separately at least 48 hours ahead. Only Ardley Fields, Dix Pit and Redbridge accept it. Maximum four sheets per visit, each no larger than 2m × 1m. Follow the council's packaging instructions before travelling.
