Recycling

A wide range of materials and household waste can be recycled at these centres. All waste and recycling must be pre-sorted before arrival at the site. For example; plasterboard, garden waste, cardboard, plastics, metals etc. We have the right to carry out visual inspections and to deny site entry and usage.

*Charges apply at all sites for construction, demolition or excavation waste or trade/commercial waste.

DIY and building waste - residents

Anyone disposing of mixed loads of construction, demolition or DIY waste will have to enter the site via the weighbridge and will be charged at £26.30 per 100kg. Residents are entitled to have a weekly allocation of 60kg of DIY waste. This is the equivaliant to 2x 50L rubble bags or one item no larger than 2m x 0.75m x 0.7m, free of charge.  Additional waste will be chargeable. Residents are not entitled to roll their allocation over to the next week to gain a larger free weight allowance. The site accepts payment by debit and credit card only.

Many items will continue to be free as long as they have been correctly sorted for recycling.
