Non-recyclable waste

If you have items that we cannot recycle you can bring them to the site.

Before putting them in the skip our site attendants will need to confirm that your items are non-recyclable. We recommend you use clear bags or a container to help with this process. If you need to use bags to transport the items, you will need to open them to show our staff. You must not use Council issued green bags.

Examples of the material that can be put into our non-recyclable waste skip include:

• Pet waste for example cat litter or animal bedding
• Blinds
• Divan bed
• Garden furniture
• Polystyrene
• Thin plastic film packaging
• Mirrors
• Sofas and armchairs
• Wallpaper
• Baby items for example car seats, highchairs, prams or pushchairs
• Video or cassette tapes
  
  

If you are unsure, please ask our staff. If we do not offer a recycling service to dispose of an item, you will be able to put it in the non-recyclable waste skip.

We do not accept bags of mixed waste. For example we will not accept a bag containing food mixed with recyclable materials.

If you have this type of waste to dispose of you can pay for our service​, or use a private waste contractor. You will need to make sure they are a registered waste carrier​​​​​​​​​​​​​External link opens in a new window​​.
