These site rules apply to all residents visiting any of our HWRCs at all times.
Please bear with us throughout operation of this restricted service. Please treat our staff with respect and consideration during this challenging period. PLEASE NOTE:
We must all continue to adhere to the continuing advice from the Government to slow the spread of Coronavirus. It is really important that we all maintain social distancing and stay 2m from individuals. To do this at the tips (Household Waste Recovery Centres), we must limit the number of residents on site at any one time and the types of containers that are available to use. We will continue to follow advice from the Government and review the practices at the Household Waste Recovery Centres in order that staff and residents stay safe.
You should only visit the tip if it is essential, i.e. if waste materials cannot be stored at home without causing risk of injury or harm to health. Textiles don’t cause risk of injury or harm to human health, so residents are requested to continue to store bagged textiles at home.
Social distancing measures must be adhered to at all times by both staff and visitors. Residents with items that require 2 people to lift are advised to store the item at home until social distancing restrictions are relaxed and we are able to accommodate heavy and bulky items.
HWRC operatives have been provided with a list of postcodes relevant to Northumberland residents, so a Cumbria postcode whilst paying Council tax to Northumberland County Council will allow you access to the HWRC facilities.
