FAQs
Why isn’t building rubble made available as hardcore?
A separate container for rubble is provided. This material is then sent for reprocessing to be used as an aggregate by the building trade.
Why is useful furniture currently being thrown away?
Unfortunately, the Furniture Reuse Scheme that has been in operation since 1 January 2001 has been suspended temporarily due to major building works on site which have reduced the area available for the storage of furniture.
Why isn't Green Waste collected at the reuse and recycling centre chopped up on site for use as mulch in gardens and parks?
Green waste is transported in bulk to a composting plant, where over a period of time it is broken down into a stabilised residue known as humus. Further curing of this residue produces a product for a soil conditioner or mulch.
