Business and commercial waste

We do not accept business or commercial waste at our household recycling centres.

This waste must go to either a:

• transfer station
• permitted waste station
• licensed company who will collect it through a payment.

Waste carrier licences

If you transport waste you must have a waste carrier licence whether:

• the waste is yours or someone else's
• you're getting rid of it for free or for a profit.
