For household waste from residents only. Sort materials before visiting and unload them yourself. Only bring the materials listed for this centre; smaller centres have fewer facilities.
Keep upholstered seating separate. Follow staff directions and do not break it up.
For a van or trailer, book at least 48 hours ahead, no more than once per vehicle per week (Sunday–Saturday). Bring the booking confirmation. Ordinary car visits without a trailer do not need a booking.
Soil/rubble or plasterboard, where listed, must arrive in a car, not a van or trailer. The council limits these materials to one visit per day.

- Business and commercial waste in the household service
Trailers
- Trailers accepted
- Yes, subject to the centre’s vehicle and waste rules. DIY, building and renovation waste cannot be brought in a van or trailer. Vehicles with a gross weight of 3,500kg or more, tippers and flatbeds are not admitted.
