We accept materials and recyclables that can be re-manufactured sustainably where it is commercially viable to do so, as well as general waste.

​Please sort your loads into the categories below, make sure household recycling has no food or other residue, and compact them as much as you can to get the best value for money.

If you are short on time and are unable to sort your load, it will be charged at the general waste rate.  

All items listed below are accepted at our Lawrie Road site, and select recyclables can be dropped at Less Shop, 47 Station Road.
