Tidy tips and recycling centres
If your rubbish and/or recycling won't go into one of your collection bins, you can take it to one of our Tidy Tips. You will need a permit if you are in a van, trailer or larger vehicle (see below).
If you have smaller recycling items, or your do not receive glass box collections, you can visit one of our neighbourhood recycling centres.
Recycle centres
Neighbourhood recycling centres
There are a number of small, locally placed recycling banks across the town, which you can visit at your convenience. This is to dispose of small quantities of waste, such as glass bottles, food tins and in some cases, clothing.
Please make sure you place these items in the correct bins and not beside them, as items on the street count as flytipping and will not be collected.
Please note: the council is not responsible for all of these recycling centres, some are privately owned/managed.
