Book a time slot to visit a Recycling Centre. Re-use shops are open and accepting donations.
You can take household waste from your own home to a Suffolk Recycling Centre free of charge. Charges apply to any waste arisen as a result of business or trade activity.
Hardcore, rubble, soil and plasterboard are not classified as household waste so you will need to pay a charge.
You can only pay by card, not cash. Rates determined by site staff are non-negotiable.
