Householders Recycling Centre (HRC) situated next to the transfer station

Refuse Collection Vehicles with bin lifting and waste compacting
equipment. Materials for organic recycling are presented by the household
in a 240 litre brown wheeled bin. This service is currently collected four
days a week (Tuesday – Friday). The Householders Recycling Centre (HRC)
