Gypsum Close Recycling Centre has a trade waste facility and weighbridge for commercial customers.
You need a waste permit if you are driving a van, pickup, or a car with a trailer longer than 1.4m. Please visit Recycling centres to find out more and to apply.
Both sites are open every day except Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day. The sites are open 8am to 8pm (April-Oct) and 8 am to 6 pm (Nov-March)*
