West Sussex County Council has suspended its charges for DIY waste at its amenity tips. This follows a Government announcement that it is to review its guidance about the charges that can be made at local civic amenity sites and takes effect immediately.
"In order to avoid any potential confusion for our residents in West Sussex we have decided to suspend all charges for these type of materials with immediate effect until the review by the Government has been concluded," The council`s chief executive, Nathan Elvery, said.
“From today therefore householders visiting any West Sussex amenity site will no longer be charged for the deposit of material which results from the sort of work householders would normally carry out on their homes – what most people would refer to as DIY waste.
“Once the Government’s review has been concluded the County Council will look at the matter again,” he added.
Charges for the disposal of tyres remain in place.
