    If you want to throw rubbish in a skip & you can manage to navigate the badly parked cars & skip full don’t use signs then great. But if you need help or advice then I would suggest talking to a small stuffed a animal as you will get a more professional response. As for help - don’t expect it and you will not be disappointed. How Trading Standards allowed them to keep there “Happy To Help” slogan I will never know. The staff are rude, unhelpful, condescending and terrible at there jobs. The older bloke working there has never in all the times I have been using the place done a minutes work. Pathetic little man who try’s to do little to nothing while people struggle. SITA check your CCTV & sack the lot. It would be better without them

    I visited this centre first time as it was nearest to a friend's house clearance. I used Google Maps to locate & find. I nearly turned back round as it isn't very clearly signposted on the Main Rd near the entrance as you drive up the hill it's 3/4 up on the right, opposite was wasteland, but if was coming down the hill, you would see the signage at the entrance. On e there it is towards the the right side as you drive into the site, not many containers but you are able to recycle the more popular item's from our homes 😀. I used the bottle/cans & non recycling waste, paper/cardboard also there's wood/clothes etc. It was very good. A couple of staff were present to help.

    Straight in, they allow for plenty of cars. Really easy to do. Free to use aslong as you're in a car.

  • 1/5 Wayne B. 2 years ago on Google
    Arrived on-site to drop some asbestos sheets off. Eventually found a staff member sat at the back of an office. Explained what I had he walked past me down the yard and walked back up and pointed at a skip grunting the “doors open” and went back to his shed. Not very helpful to me or the woman dropping cans off.

    Used to be okay but today a very elderly couple were there and clearly.struggling, over walked one bearded employee and walked straight past them, I ended up helping them and even I am disabled. Lazy

    So I have just loaded the car checked it was open Google says till 5pm I get there at 20 to 5 and its shut. I am frustrated with this as clearly the staff are shutting up for a early finish. It's a joke the people who are working at this tip including the manager Gary. If his name is even Gary
