Trade waste charges and payments

Prices for our trade waste collection and disposal services.

The prices for our trade waste collection and disposal services for 2026/27 are for the full year from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027 - customers joining partway through the year will be charged pro-rata.

VAT is not applied to local authority waste collection services so all prices shown for the collection service do not include VAT. VAT is however still applicable on charges at our disposal operations such as our Recycling Centres and Transfer Station.
