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.
Vans and trailers
Residents who use a van, pick-up, or trailer to dispose of household waste will need a permit to visit this recycling centre.
A detailed list of vehicles requiring a permit is available on the van permit page.
The permit allows 12 visits per year in a van or with a trailer over 1.5 metres.
No permit is needed for cars — visits in a car are unlimited.
