Household permit scheme at recycling centres
From February 2008 householders who only have a commercial type
vehicle such as a van for their domestic use must have an
HWRC
household permit before entering Household Waste Recycling Centres
(
HWRCs
) in
Hampshire.
The
HWRC
household permit is being introduced to ensure only household waste
is deposited at
HWRCs
. Sites are not
licensed to accept trade waste, however significant amounts are
brought in by traders attempting to avoid paying for disposal of
their waste. Studies show that the majority of trade waste is
delivered to
HWRCs
in commercial type
vehicles such as vans. These vehicles will therefore have
restricted access to
HWRCs
to prevent trade
waste being deposited, making sites quicker and easier for
householders to use.
We recognise however that some householders only have access to
a commercial type vehicle for their domestic use, so they can apply
for a free permit allowing them to access the sites in these
vehicles.
An
HWRC
household permit allows access to
HWRCs
, but does not
allow users to deposit non-household waste.
To apply or for more information contact Hampshire County
Council on 0845 603 5634 from January 2008 or visit www.hants.gov.uk/recycling.
