Site staff are authorised to inspect any waste brought into the site, opening sacks if necessary, and to question customers as to the origin of waste.

Once deposited, all waste becomes the property of the contractor who may recover any reusable and recyclable items. Waste cannot be removed from the facility by the public and trading is not permitted.

If you require assistance in unloading please ask a member of staff. NB – Please be advised that if you bring materials to a site in either a Builders Bag or Wheelie Bin you may be required to empty the contents from the bag / bin before asking for site staff assistance as these type of containers are designed to be mechanically lifted and not by hand.
