Site Terms and Conditions
- Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) are for Rotherham residents only.
- Waste may be checked upon arrival and the site attendants have the right to refuse anyone suspected of bringing commercial, industrial or building waste on to the site.
- Depending on the frequency of visits and/or the nature of the waste you are bringing on to site, you may be asked to complete a trade waste disclaimer to confirm that the waste is your own household waste and is not being disposed of for profit. You will also be asked for proof of identification, including your home address.
- The Council reserves the right to investigate any suspected breach of these terms and conditions. Details may be passed on to the relevant enforcement offices and/or third parties in accordance with Data Protection Act.
- No items or materials can be removed from site. Removing any item from site will be treated as theft from FCC, who manage the sites on the Council’s behalf, and may lead to prosecution.
- Once you have disposed of your waste you are expected to leave the site to allow other users to deposit their waste and prevent health and safety issues.
- Asking other customers for items they have brought to site to dispose of is not permitted. If you are seen doing this you will be asked to leave site and your vehicle details will also be recorded.
- Leaving waste outside the gate of any HWRC is considered fly tipping. The Council reserves the right to investigate and initiate legal proceedings on any fly tipped waste.
- Anyone depositing commercial or trade waste may be prosecuted under the provision of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 Section 34. The maximum penalty is a fine of £50,000
The Council reserves the right to amend the opening and closing times of HWRCs.
