TRADE WASTE IS NOT ACCEPTED AT ANY OF CUMBRIA'S HOUSEHOLD WASTE RECYCLING CENTRES.

So what can I do with my trade waste?

There are a number of options available. You can:

• Ask your local district council to collect it for a fee
• Contact a skip hire company and have a skip delivered
• Arrange for a private waste disposal or recycling company to collect your waste
• Take your waste to a private disposal/recycling facility

For details of trade waste and recycling facilities in your area consult the Yellow Pages.

And don't forget the cheapest and easiest way of dealing with your trade waste is to reduce the amount you produce in the first place.
