I have a lot of waste and want to use a van or trailer to transport it. Is this okay?
Cambridgeshire County Council Household Waste Recycling Centres are licensed to accept household waste only and have a policy preventing commercial waste being taken to any of the sites. This includes shops, offices, and trade or business waste of any kind, for which an earned income is obtained. Many businesses will use vans to dispose of their waste, therefore, if you want to use a van or trailer to take your household waste to a Cambridgeshire County Council site please call either the County Council (0845 045 5207), or the relevant site first to check this is acceptable (site phone numbers can be found via the link at the top of this page). This will prevent delays when you reach the site.
