🏡 BRING YOUR FULL FREE ALLOWANCE IN ONE VISIT!

Every household continues to be entitled to a free DIY waste allowance of 400 litres OR up to four bulky DIY items every four weeks.

Previously, you may have needed to spread your allowance across multiple visits. Now, if you haven’t used any of your allowance in the previous four weeks, you can bring your full allowance in one visit!

✅ 400 litres of DIY waste, or up to four bulky items, depending on the type of waste
✅ Your allowance resets every four weeks
✅ More flexibility to plan your DIY projects and recycling centre visits

These changes follow a review of the service and build on legislation introduced in 2023, making DIY waste recycling simpler and more convenient for residents.

📍 Plan your next visit to a re3 recycling centre and make the most of your free allowance! Check the updated Waste Acceptance Policy here �https://re3.fccenvironment.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Revised-WAP-October-2026.pdf

👋 Introducing Councillor Simon Coles 👋

Simon has recently joined Warfield Parish Council, representing St Michaels Ward. Simon was co-opted onto the council at the last Full Council Meeting. He has lived in Quelm Park with his family since 1997.

From Simon:
'I'm keen to contribute something back to the place we've called home for so long. I'm particularly interested in bringing the new Community Hub to life. The construction is in good hands, but turning a building into a thriving community asset is a job for the Parish Council. That's where I hope my experience of running a business, managing budgets and getting projects delivered will be useful.'
