Please remember to organise your recycling into different material types.
You must place materials into the correct containers when you arrive at the site. You must also dispose of any bags used to store materials in a separate container.
Mixed bags of recycling cannot be recycled on site. Plastic bottles, tubs and trays should be put in your white recycling bag for kerbside collection.
You cannot dispose of mattresses, car tyres or plasterboard at Hoath Way waste and recycling centre. Please book a trip to Capstone waste and recycling centre instead.
