Weston Mill Recycling Centre is now open at weekends between 8.30am to 5.30pm .
The small facility was closed at the start of the lockdown in March, so that we could concentrate on making sure its core bin collections could continue.
The site is accepting most of the waste it usually does, including bulky waste, garden waste (not soil – see below), scrap metal and most large appliances like cookers, washing machines, tumble dryers and microwaves.
For the time being the following items will not be taken:
Soil and hardcore
Fridges and freezers
TVs and small electrical items
Recycling ‘bring bank’ items, such as clothing, cans and glass bottles
Weston Mill has never accepted:
Antifreeze, asbestos or chemicals
Car or household batteries
Fluorescent tubes or low energy lamps
Gas bottles
Plasterboard
Cooking or engine oil
Hazardous or commercial waste
All of these types of waste can be taken to Chelson Meadow Recycling Centre.
Social distancing measures are in place and visitors are asked to maintain a two-metre distance from staff at all times. Staff are not be able to help unload or carry waste, so people should only take items they can handle without assistance. Please remember there are steps up to the disposal containers at Weston Mill.
No vans or trailers are allowed, as has always been the case at this site.
A maximum of two adults will bare allowed per vehicle to limit the number of people on site and aid social distancing. As always, children must stay in the vehicle at all times while on site.
