Please note: When a container is full, we must partition it off until such time it can be emptied. Similarly, if several containers are full and waiting to be emptied there may be occasions when we must close the site. We try to minimise these closures, but sometimes they're unavoidable.
Bulky waste
If you have large/bulky items, which are too difficult to get to the tip, then you can arrange a bulky waste collection. We can also collect fridges and freezers. There are charges for these collections.
