A list of items can be found on our A to Z directory of waste.

Please break up large items such as sofas and armchairs before your visit if they can.

• Clean, dry plasterboard only – Contaminated plasterboard with insulation / foil / plaster attached to it is not accepted as it classed as demolition and construction waste (maximum of three bags per household per day)
• Currently cardboard taken to the Immingham Tip is not recycled (This cardboard is processed at the Energy from waste plant and provides electricity and thermal heat – If you want to recycle your cardboard then put it in your blue bin or take it to Grimsby Tip)

Bike sales and Bric-a-Brac items

Bric-a-Brac and bikes are available to buy daily. Proceeds go to local charities and good causes.

We no longer sell compost at the sites.

Bring to recycling sites have been removed

Bring to recycling banks were places where householders could recycle reasonable amounts of cans, glass, paper and plastic. We removed these facilities after making improvements to kerbside recycling collections.

If you have extra rubbish or recycling to get rid of, please take it to Grimsby or Immingham Community Recycling Centres.
