Household Waste Recycling Centres
New rules about the HWRCs were introduced late October 2010 to help make it easier for residents to deposit their waste at our Household Waste Recycling Centres while continuing to prevent businesses disposing of their waste for free at the sites.
The new Waste Acceptance Policy outlines limits on certain types of waste that can be taken to the Household Waste Recycling Centres. These limits are in line with the amount of waste that householders produce and are designed to prevent businesses bringing waste to the centres.
You may find that you are affected if you have large amounts of waste to bring to site, for example after a weekends DIY. To find out more about the limits on certain types of waste, please view our Waste Acceptance Policy.
The height barriers at both HWRCs are now closed and set to 1.95m. All vehicles (including vans, light commercial vehicles, 4x4's) over 1.95m are welcome on site between 2pm and 4pm Monday to Saturday only.
Residents using single axle trailers can access site seven days a week during normal working hours.
