How much material may I take to the Raynesway site?

The Raynesway site is for general household waste.  It will only accept the following materials if you bring them in one journey in a private vehicle:

• construction materials from improvements or replacements to properties
• materials from repairs or renewals of garages
• sheds
• patio material
• garden material

Does the Raynesway site accept asbestos?

Contact the Raynesway site on 01332 755482 before you visit to make sure it can accept your material. 

Generally, it accepts:

• only small quantities of asbestos waste from minor repair works to roofs and guttering
• a maximum of three six foot by three foot (1.83m x 0.91m) sheets/panels of asbestos.

Important

• Double wrap sheets/panels in plastic sheeting or bags.
• To help us move them, don’t break up the sheets/panels.
• We won’t allow you to make a return visit.
• You must dispose of larger quantities by private registered asbestos removal contractors.

I’ve found some chemicals in my shed - what can I do?

Contact the Raynesway site on 01332 755482 before you visit to make sure it can accept the chemicals. 

Generally, it accepts small quantities (a maximum of five litres or five kilogrammes) of hazardous waste, such as pesticides, mercury and petrol.

Do I need a permit to use Raynesway?

Raynesway is a facility for Derby residents using a private vehicle to dispose of their own household waste.

To make sure commercial waste is not disposed of there, we operate a permit system for vehicles that could be used by businesses.

All vans and pick-up trucks under 3.5 tonnes gross, and vehicles with trailers, need a permit to use the Raynesway Site.  

If you are hiring a van, you will need to state how many visits you are intending to make to the site to receive a permit.

How do I get a permit to use Raynesway?

Complete this tip permit request form.

We will ask you for:

• your name, address and telephone number
• the vehicle registration number, make and trade number
• a description of the waste you will be taking
• the number of trips you expect to make.
