Building Materials

Small quantities of building materials can be taken to your nearest Recycling Centre and placed in the skips marked Brick and Rubble.

Please note if you are carrying out DIY work on your property then you should consider hiring a skip. Limited amounts of brick, rubble and soil will be accepted each month(1 x 6ft x4ft trailer load or 6 x 25kg bags). This is limited to two visits per year if you are using a commercial vehicle permit.
