Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps her Department is taking with waste disposal authorities in England to help ensure that limits on the free disposal of DIY waste are applied consistently between household waste recycling centres.

Responses to the 2022 Government consultation indicated larger quantities were more likely to be produced by traders than householders. A limit of two 50L rubble bags reflects small-scale DIY home improvements and, as material can only be presented in a 50L bag, is easy to measure. Local authorities determine implementation across HWRCs.
