Additional Information
Vehicles with inappropriate loads will be rejected.
All vehicles may be subject to inspection of their load prior to admission to the centre and throughout unloading.
Vans that have a combination of unacceptable and acceptable loads, e.g. DIY waste and green waste, will be rejected.
Vans are allowed in four times per financial year regardless of place of origin. All vehicles will be monitored and enforcement action taken if the number of visits is abused.
Residents who hire a van and drive it themselves will be allowed on to site.
No trailers allowed or open backed vehicles are allowed.
No commercial vehicles are permitted to use the site, other than authorised contractors, where the centre may be closed for a period for health and safety reasons.
“Man & Van” vehicles are not allowed on site, even if hired by a resident. Any waste transported in this matter is classed as trade waste, because it is being dealt with on a hire and reward basis.
If a resident hires a man and van they are advised that they will no longer be able to bring that waste into the centre and the waste carrier is responsible, along with the resident, to ensure the waste is disposed of properly.
Residents are not permitted to park their vehicles outside of the site and walk items in. As this may cause congestion outside the site and pose a significant health and safety risk.
