Commercial / Business / Trade waste is the responsibility of the trader or business producing the waste and cannot be deposited at Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs). To help to control this, we have introduced height barriers and a household waste vehicle permit scheme.
Householders are entitled to reasonably use vans / trailers to bring their household waste to Baldovie and Riverside HWRCs but will require a vehicle permit.
If your vehicle requires a permit (see criteria below) then you must be in posession of a valid permit before visiting any of the HWRCs. Permits are not issued at our HWRCs.
Permits are free to householders wishing to dispose of small quantities of bulky household waste, or to access reuse and recycling facilities.
Permits are valid for 12 visits after which householders should re-apply for another permit.
