Landfill and Eco Centre requirements and FAQs

Prepare for your trip

  • Make sure your waste loads are covered and secured in your vehicle to prevent littering.
  • Keep your different types of materials separated as you load up your vehicle. Once at the Eco Centre you will be required to sort your waste into the different material bins.
  • Customers are responsible for all unloading of materials – staff and equipment are not available to assist.
  • For your safety, wear closed-toed shoes and always keep children and pets inside the vehicle.
