I wasn't even aware of this one until it came into force today.

My local tip has listed it as "Up to two 50L rubble bags at a frequency of 4 visits per household over a 4 week period"

Honestly, that's pretty fair. If you have a big lot of waste, a skip is still worth it. (a 6-yard is about 70+ rubble sacks worth)

But for smaller projects, this is great. And hopefully should reduce fly-tipping a little.

Edit: Swapped the "oh no, council tax might go up" BBC article for the gov.uk press release.
