• There is a height barrier of 1.75m at the entrance and exit to every site, please ask attendants if you require assistance.
   

Trade, commercial and industrial waste

This type of waste is not permitted at Household Waste Recycling Centres, please be aware that if we suspect you have trade waste your details may be passed on to enforcement authorities. If you have trade waste you can use the Trade Waste Recycling Service.

If someone transports your waste as part of their trade or to make money then they must be registered as a waste carrier with the Environment Agency. This is classed as trade waste and is not accepted at Household Waste Recycling Centres.

Use the S.C.R.A.P code when arranging for someone to collect waste from your home:

• Suspect – Reputable companies don't usually make direct approaches. If in any doubt, don't allow them to take your waste.
• Check – ask for their waste carrier registration details, verify them and note down the registration number of the vehicle used to take your waste away.
• Refuse – refuse unsolicited offers to have any rubbish taken away. Carry out your own research and choose who you wish to approach.
• Ask – find out what is going to happen to your rubbish and seek evidence that it is going to be disposed of appropriately. A legitimate, professional waste carrier who wants your business should not object to being asked reasonable questions.
• Paperwork – get a proper receipt containing the written information for your waste. Including what has been removed, where it's going and the company or tradesperson’s details.
