Any vehicle bringing waste from a DIY project to the Chigwell Road Reuse and Recycling Centre now requires an appointment.
“This will make it easy for residents to use a new increased allowance of DIY waste while helping to protect the centre from misuse by those who are required to pay to dispose of waste,” said an East London Waste Authority statement.
DIY waste includes rubble, kitchen units, structural wood and metal and soil. Bookings can be made between 24 hours and three months in advance.
