Please note: We are unable to provide assistance with lifting or sorting, so please ensure all waste and recycling is manageable.
Please Note: Rubble and DIY skips at the sites are located at ground level on the flat, requiring a fairly high lift to get material into the skip. Members of the public are advised to approach a member of staff for lifting assistance for heavy loads.
Our recycling centres accept tyres, but will only accept 2 at a time.

It is no longer permitted to place gypsum and plasterboard in general skips/mixed refuse containers at our civic amenity sites. Small quantities of gypsum such as plasterboard, plaster and other gypsum products produced from home DIY may be accepted at Atlantic Trading Estate and Llandow if it is separated at home, brought to the attention of staff on arrival and placed in a special separate container for gypsum products only. Failure to inform the crew on site you have gypsum waste may lead to residents being asked to reload their vehicle and remove the material from the facility.
