Soil and clay
Small amounts of soil attached to plant roots or turf can be placed in the garden waste skip at recycling centres.
Larger amounts should be taken to one of our recycling centres, but must be within the DIY acceptance criteria (see below).
DIY waste acceptance criteria
Residents are allowed to dispose of up to two 50 litre bags worth of waste or a single article of waste no larger than 2000mm x 750mm x 700mm in size per visit.
Residents must not exceed four single visits per household in any four week period.
DIY waste must have been produced by residents and cannot have not come from construction or demolition works for which a payment has been made.
If construction or home improvement work has been carried out by a tradesperson, it is their legal responsibility to dispose of any waste that is produced.
If you are hiring a van to transport your own Household Waste to a recycling centre, you must arrange temporary access.
Alternatively, you could hire a skip or get a skip bag.
