If you are satisfied that your vehicle has never been to the site before you should not need authorisation for your first trip if you are carrying normal household waste. If the vehicle has been to the site before, or is carrying restricted household waste you will need to call 48hrs prior to visiting the site to arrange authorisation. Authorisation is subject to a check on how much waste was tipped previously. For details on whether your waste is classified as restricted or not, please see below.

To get vehicle authorisation please call the Customer Contact Centre on 0208 554 5000.
