In a significant move to boost recycling efforts and facilitate responsible waste disposal, households in England no longer have to pay for getting rid of small-scale DIY waste at council recycling centres. The government has taken the step to eliminate fees previously imposed by around one-third of local authorities for disposing of DIY waste at household waste recycling centres (HWRCs).
Starting from today, all councils in England will treat DIY waste the same as other household waste, provided it meets specific conditions, including not exceeding 2x 50L rubble bags.
