Overview
- Residents will need to register their name, address and vehicle to use the county’s 20 tips, with the scheme starting Monday, April 27.
- Registration is free, takes a few minutes online, lasts three years, and staff will verify entry by checking number plates on arrival.
- People without internet access can sign up by phone or at libraries and council offices, which the authority says will support those who need help.
- Owners of commercial‑like vehicles face a cap of 12 free visits each year to allow household drop‑offs while limiting unpaid disposal of business waste.
- The council cites up to £400,000 in yearly savings and notes non‑residents account for about one in six visits, as critics warn the rules could drive more fly‑tipping and some residents voice support.
