Surrey To Start Charging For Household Construction Waste

Surrey County Council’s introducing new charges for some non-household waste, including DIY or building waste, at nine community recycling centres from the beginning of next month (1 September).

This includes the site at Horley Road, Earlswood.

Charges will apply for waste from construction and alterations or repair of your home or garden, such as plasterboard and breeze blocks.

All Surrey residents will be able to take one bag or one item free per household, per day. Bicycle tyres can be disposed of free of charge.

The introduction of charges is being made as increased demand for essential services, along with reduced government funding, means Surrey County Council needs to reduce its spending in other areas.

A leaflet with details will be available from the CRCs and you can consult Surrey County Council’s website for more information.

For more details and a full list of the types of waste that will be charged for, visit the Surrey County Council website.
