DIY and other waste
DIY waste
From 1 January 2024 residents of Slough are able to dispose of DIY waste from small scale projects carried out by the householder for free. You can dispose of the following for free:
- two lots of 50 litre bags worth of DIY waste
- one large item of DIY waste (2m x 0.75m x 0.7m) (about the size of a bath tub or a shower screen).
You can make 4 visits during one month.
Beyond these amounts you will be charged - check the charges for non household items we accept.
Non recyclabe waste
Non-recyclable waste may be sent for incineration at Lakeside Electricity from Waste (EfW).
Where your items can still be used, you may want to donate them to a charity shop:
- Audio and video cassettes.
- Books.
- Bulky domestic items.
- Cartons.
- CD's and DVD's.
- Furniture.
- Mattresses (maximum 2 mattresses) - only one visit per month (no return visit within 28 days) is permitted. Amounts over this limit are charged at £22.19 per mattress.
