Top Tips on using the Refuse and Recycling Site
- Always follow the direction given by the signs and site staff
- If you are tipping general waste as well as recycling, pack recyclables into your vehicle before general waste (there is no access to the recycling facilities before the general waste tipping point).
- If you are only using the recycling facilities, use lane 3 and beat the traffic!
- The tipping shed is very busy during weekdays and on Saturday mornings. If you have a vehicle over 1.8 metres (6ft) in height, please be aware that you may encounter delays at these times. Where possible, make your visits on Saturday afternoon or Sunday
- Vehicles needing to cross the weighbridge will be able to access the tipping facilities when the bridge is open. At other times they will be refused access and asked to return at an appropriate time. The weighbridge is open from 7.30am to 4pm Monday to Friday and from 7.30am to 12 noon on Saturday.
- Look at the 'Tip Cam' to avoid long queues of traffic (the links are at the bottom of the page)
- If you own a vehicle over 1.8 metres (6ft) in height, you can still tip household waste at the site. You will be directed by staff to the tipping shed via the recycling facilities, so make sure you load your vehicle with household waste first, then recyclables.
Top Tips for Recducing Waste
It's easier to reduce, reuse and recycle than you think. With a small amount of effort we can all make a big difference.
- Think twice before you load your car
Everything deserves a second chance! Reducing the amount of rubbish you throw away is the first step. We can all reduce and reuse what we buy as well as recycle more often. - Reduce how much rubbish you produce
Buy unwrapped goods rather than heavily packaged. Loose fruit and vegetables produce less waste and their freshness and shelf life is often the same as those in packets. Use refills for products where you can. - Green box Recycling Service
The Green Box Recycling Service allows participating residents to recycle glass bottles and jars, newspapers, papers and magazines, plastic bottles, food and drink cans, and textiles (clothes, shoes and fabrics). - Orange Sack Recycling Service
The Orange Sack Recycling Service allows participating residents to recycle glass bottles and jars, newspapers, papers and magazines, plastic bottles and food and drink cans. - Green waste
You can compost garden and kitchen waste at home or take your garden waste to the Villiers Road Recycling Centre to be composted. Compost can also be purchased at this site. The Council also provides a Green Bag Scheme for the collection of household garden waste.
