Commercial waste

Please note that the council household waste recycling centres are not licenced to accept commercial or trade waste. By using this service you are confirming that the waste you are bringing is from a household or non-commercial source. The definition of commercial includes anyone receiving payment for disposal of another property's household waste.

Alternative options

You might also want to consider:

• requesting a collection for large items (bulky uplifts)
