Pedestrian and bike access
We don't allow access to the main site for pedestrians or cyclists for safety reasons. Please use the dedicated disposal area to the left of the main site entrance. We've placed bins here for general rubbish and some types of recycling including garden waste, cardboard, cartons, foil, glass, plastics and paper.
You can also leave other items accepted on site such as small electrical items, which our staff will place in the correct containers. Usage of this area is regularly monitored to avoid misuse.
Please do not leave bulky items such as mattresses, or batteries, household chemicals, tyres, or cooking oil in this area. If you're unsure or require assistance, for example with purchasing a compost bin from the pedestrian access point, use the buzzer to get the attention of staff, who will be able to assist you.
