Before setting off, check our website for opening hours, check our X (Twitter) or Facebook for the latest updates. Please note:

- We plan for busy periods, but urge you to think about when to visit your waste site, to avoid delays.
- When visiting one of our sites please remember to wear appropriate sturdy footwear and gloves.
