Trade, Commercial and Industrial waste is not permitted at Household Waste Recycling Centres, if we suspect you have trade waste your details may be passed on to enforcement authorities.
If someone transports your waste as part of their trade or to make money they must be registered as a waste carrier, this is trade waste and is not accepted at Household Waste Recycling Centres. Use the S.C.R.A.P code when arranging for someone to collect waste from your home:
- Suspect – Reputable companies don't usually make direct approaches. If in doubt, don't let them take your waste.
- Check – Ask for their waste carrier details, verify them with the Environment Agency and record the registration number of the vehicle used to take your waste away.
- Refuse – Refuse unsolicited offers to have any rubbish removed, carry out your own research to choose.
- Ask – Find out where it's going and ask for evidence that it's going to be disposed of appropriately. A legitimate waste carrier should not object to being asked reasonable questions.
- Paperwork – Get a receipt containing the written information for your waste. Including what has been removed, where it's going and the company or tradesperson’s details.

Recycling & Reuse Opportunities
Do you have an idea of how we can recycle or reuse more materials? Here are some of our partners who are helping us to turn waste into a resource.
Unwanted Furniture
Carpets
Old Baths, Shower Trays and Kitchen Sinks
Paint
Cooking Oil
We are working to increase the amount of items and materials that can be reused and recycled to maximise the potential of resources and reduce waste.
We'd like to hear from you if you have a proposal for an innovative idea of how you can work with us to reduce waste by reusing or recycling the everyday items that we see delivered to our Household Waste Recycling Centres.
We currently accept approximately 40 different material types at our Recycling Centres for recycling, diversion or disposal. We aim to ensure that resources are captured and given a new lease of life where possible, you can see some examples here.
If you are an organisation, project or community initiative with an idea that changes the way we think about waste and want to reuse or recycle unwanted materials from our Recycling Centres, then get in touch.
