The scheme will see residents who use vans to bring their restricted household waste to the RRC told that they must seek permission from the Council for further visits.

Staff at Jenkins Lane RRC will record the details including the registration number of the vans, and the address of the driver carrying restricted waste.

Newham Council will then investigate the details provided and decide whether residents will be permitted to take further loads of restricted household waste to Jenkins Lane.

If permission is granted, residents will be given a letter of authority from the Council that will cite the conditions for tipping their restricted household waste and this will be subject to time constraints.

The Council will not issue blanket or unconditional tipping approval. If a resident wants to return with restricted household on another occasion e.g. within three months they will need to seek another letter of authorisation from Newham Council.

Those who do not live in the borough of Newham, will be asked to contact their borough to tip at Jenkins Lane.

The initiative has been launched to clamp down on people who are illegally tipping their builders or business waste at Jenkins Lane RRC.
