Household Waste
The Council collects household waste from homes throughout the district. We also collect "bulky" items for collection, like settees and cookers, when a charge is made. For details please telephone 01424 787000. Special arrangements have to be made for the collection of clinical or medical waste, please telephone 01424 787000. Waste on Roads or Pavements
The Council is responsible for keeping the highways clean. Please telephone 01424 787000. Waste on Private Land
The owner of the land is responsible for removing the waste. If the waste is organic or could provide harbourage for rats the Council can request the landowner to clear the land. Waste from Businesses
Businesses and non-domestic households are responsible for the disposal of their waste. They must ensure they use a licensed waste disposal contractor.
We would strongly advise businesses to consider recycling as much of their waste as possible, and to discuss the matter with their waste contractor. The link on the right of this page "Recycling for Businesses" carries a list of known recycling providers in the District. Environment Agency
The Environment Agency investigates all illegal disposal of waste and chemicals that have been fly-tipped. Please telephone: 0645 333111 or in emergencies: 0800 807060
