Frequently Asked Questions
Which HWRCs in Cornwall accept commercial waste?
Only some HWRCs accept commercial waste. Check which sites allow it before visiting. Depositing commercial waste without declaring it may result in being turned away and reported to the Environmental Enforcement Team.
Do I need a permit to visit an HWRC with my vehicle?
Yes, certain vehicles require a valid HWRC permit. You will not be allowed on-site without one, so check your vehicle eligibility before attending.
Can I leave waste outside the HWRC gates?
No, leaving waste outside the gates is considered fly tipping. Cornwall Council may investigate and take legal action against offenders.
Are pedestrians allowed to walk into the HWRCs?
No, for safety reasons, walk-in pedestrian access is not permitted. Children and pets must remain in your vehicle at all times.
What is a trade waste disclaimer, and why might I be asked to complete one?
You may be asked to complete a trade waste disclaimer to confirm that your waste is household waste and not being disposed of for profit. This ensures compliance with site rules.
