Construction waste is "materials resulting from the building, repairing or demoliting of buildings or any other structures."

Waste from construction projects is not classified as household waste and as scuh it is not the responsibility of the Council. We will only accept small amounts of DIY waste at our recycling sites. If you produce larger amounts of this waste you must hire a skip.
