There may be restrictions on the amount of items or materials we can accept. If you have a large amount of a particular type of waste to recycle, please contact us before travelling to the centre or ask a member of site staff.
Our re-use containers are open, but we are only able to accept a limited number of items including furniture and bicycles. Any items that you put in the re-use containers should be in a useable condition.
If you have other items including good quality furnishings, soft toys, games, or other bric-a-brac that you would like to dispose of, we advise you to donate these to local charity shops.
Items that are put into our re-use containers are usually sent for refurbishment or repair by community organisations, then sold by community organisations or charity shops.
All our recycling centres have a split-level design, making it easy for people to dispose of most types of waste without having to use steps.
Our four main recycling centres now have a dedicated carpet recycling skip.
The recycled material is collected, checked, weighed and baled for use in the equestrian sector for surfacing and animal bedding. It will also be used as acoustic insulation for buildings.
You can put these items into the carpet recycling skip:
You can't put these items into the carpet recycling skip:
