Using the recycling centre

Please take care when using the recycling centre, keeping children and pets in the vehicle at all times and using pedestrian routes where possible. Consider wearing protective gloves and sturdy footwear to prevent cuts.

If you need help unloading your vehicle, please alert a member of staff. Please note that due to health and safety, site staff are not obliged to assist in lifting heavy bags of waste or items. Consider using small bags for heavy items and breaking up large heavy items before visiting the site.

For residents that don’t drive or have a vehicle, please contact us for advice. 

Commercial or hired vehicles

Anyone bringing household waste to one of the centres in a commercial type vehicle, including hired vehicles, should be prepared to have the load inspected to make sure that it is permitted household waste and not commercial/industrial waste.

Currently vans are permitted at the centres without a permit. A size limit of 3.5 tonnes gross vehicle weight is in place due to the safety of other site users. This is subject to change, so please check our website before planning your visit.

Trailers

Small trailers are permitted but should be single axle and approximately 6 foot x 4 foot in size.

Entrance barrier restrictions

The entrance barriers are 6 foot 6 inches (2 metres) high.

Vehicles may be stopped to check that household waste is being carried. If the Recycling Centre team can confirm the waste is only household waste and is from the visitor’s own residence, the barrier can be opened to allow access.
