You are now required a waste permit to dispose of carpets, mattresses and tyres. Permits are free and can be applied for when booking a visit to one of our Household Waste Recycling Centres. Disposal limits are outlined below.
Carpet and underlay disposal
Any amount permissible, but disposal is limited to 2 visits per household per year
Mattress disposal
Disposal is limited to 2 mattresses per household per year
Tyre disposal
Unlimited disposal, but a charge of £11.30 per tyre will apply. This applies to all tyre disposals.
Why is there a charge for tyre disposal?
A charge to dispose of old tyres, still less than at most garages, is in line with Government legislation. Tyres are not classified as household waste and the cost of disposal is currently passed on to all council taxpayers.
Why are these changes necessary?
Limits to the disposal of carpets and mattresses will help to reduce the cost of disposal of these items.
