Can I bring garden and DIY waste?
The site is open for garden waste, DIY and hazardous waste. Please segregate waste before coming to site to help speed up your journey through the site.
Will I have to queue to get on to the site?
We expect some busier periods during the weekends and warmer weather. During these times there will be a need to limit or control access to the recycling centres which may result in short queues.
During skip changeovers no vehicles or pedestrians are permited access to site until safe to do so. This may additionally result in short queues at busier sites.
Will vans and trailers be allowed to use the site?
More information on what vehicle types can be accepted at Community Recycling Centres can be found on the Communty Recycling Centres Rules webpage
Will cat/animal litter be accepted at the CRC site?
CRC sites will accept controlled amounts of cat/animal litter where compactor bins are available. Items should be double bagged in black refuse sacks or equivelant and securly tied. All black bag wastes will be assessed and challenged for recycling contents on arrival.
When will the sites open without the Covid-19 restrictions?
All sites are currently open with no current Covid-19 restrictions in place.
