Who needs a permit?
We recognise that sometimes you will need to use a
commercial type vehicle to dispose of your household
waste. A recycling centre permit will enable you to
use the centre with a commercial vehicle. If you use a car,
you do not need to apply for a permit, as no restrictions are being
placed on the entry of cars.
How can i get a permit?
You can apply
for a recycling centre permit online or by phoning Peterborough
Direct on 01733 747474. Permits are valid for 7 days and
allow up to 3 visits. Please allow between 5 and 10 working days
for your permit to be delivered to you.
How does the permit scheme operate?
On arrival at the HRC, please hand your permit to a member of
staff who will confirm that the vehicle details match those shown
and mark the permit to indicate that one visit has been used. If
you visit the HRC more than once in one day, each visit will be
counted separately and your permit marked accordingly.
Only household waste will be accepted. If your waste is
suspected to be commercial/trade waste you will not be allowed to
tip your waste. You may also be required to to complete a
trade waste disclaimer form which will be investigated by the city
council's enforcement team.
How are the permits monitored?
Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) is in operation at the
site. All permit applications are saved to our database and
frequent users of the site will be highlighted for further
investigation. Peterborough City Council reserves the right to make
further enquiries to the owner of the vehicle or at the premises
from which the waste originated. Details may be passed onto the
relevant enforcement authorities.
Why have you introduced a permit scheme?
The permit scheme prevents traders from entering the site
but allows access for householders to dispose of their household
waste using a commercial type vehicle. This reduces onsite
congestion making the site quicker and easier to use.
Does a permit mean I can bring any type of waste to the
HRC?
No. Permits only allow entry to the centre. Waste deposited must
be in accordance with the Waste Disposal Policy and the materials
accepted. Please note that a permit only provides permission to
enter the site and is not a permit to deposit waste.
