Household Recycling Centres - why do the centres have height barriers?


All centres have height barriers at the entrances set at 1.95 metres to prevent trade vehicles using the facilities. This height will allow 4 x 4 and people carriers to enter the sites. The barriers are opened for oversized vehicles carrying resident's own household waste from 12 noon every Sunday. At other times unloading facilities are available including the use of a wheelbarrow on request.
