Restricted wastes and disposal limits

Limits are in place for the following waste streams with no charge for disposal.

Charges apply to some non-household waste.

For restricted waste, residents are required to complete a ‘disclaimer form’ to declare that the waste is from their household, has not arisen as a result of commercial use and to acknowledge that a limit applies to the quantities of waste they are entitled to deposit at the HWRC.
