From Tuesday 1 November, residents tipping waste from DIY and building work will be required to pay a fee at the Chalvey Household Waste and Recycling Centre.
This includes:
- kitchens and bathrooms
- timber including flooring, fencing and decking
- rubble, paving slabs and concrete
- windows and doors
- plasterboard
- tyres
- water tanks and boilers
- fireplaces, chimney pots and similar.
The charges range from £3.20 to £26.50 per item.
Councillor Mohammed Nazir, lead member for transport and the local environment said: “These new charges bring Chalvey HWRC in line with our neighbours; charging only those minority of people who wish to dispose of these certain types of waste and relieving the burden from other taxpayers.
“All usual refuse and recycling items can continue to be tipped for free by local residents – but we would encourage everyone to try and reuse, give away to charities or the needy or recycle items before bringing them down.
“In this way, we can all play our part in reducing waste and improving the environment for everyone.”
