Wall height at Dix Pit, Drayton and Oakley Wood

The walls are the minimum height required under national Health & Safety regulations. If you cannot reach over the walls to deposit your waste, please ask a member of site staff to help you.

Vehicles on site

Please note that only vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes laden can be allowed at the recycling centres. We also cannot accept trailers towed by a van or vans with tail lifts. Householders are reminded to secure all waste during transportation to Waste Recycling Centres, to prevent waste escaping from open vehicles such as trailers or pick ups.

Recycling rates

As you can see from the table below, there has been an increase in recycling rates. However, these can still be improved on, so please keep recycling to help keep us on track to meet our target of 57% this year!
