Residents Required To Register To Use Household Waste Recycling Centres
Residents across Derbyshire are being asked to register to use Derbyshire County Council’s household waste recycling centres.
The centres are provided for people living in Derbyshire to dispose of their waste and the registration scheme is being introduced to make sure those using the sites are entitled to do so.
It follows a 32% increase in the amount of waste collected at the sites since 2017/18 which has risen to 85,000 tonnes a year, costing an extra £700,000 to £800,000 in annual recycling and disposal costs.
Entry to the recycling sites will be monitored using automatic number plate recognition technology (ANPR). Each Derbyshire resident over the age of 17 can register up to two vehicles. Registration is free of charge and covers all of the council’s nine recycling centres.
Residents can now register their vehicles by visiting www.derbyshire.gov.uk/recyclingcentres. While the council does not plan to turn away unregistered vehicles immediately, residents will be reminded to sign up during their next visit. To avoid any issues in the future, we encourage everyone to register as soon as possible.
Residents registering a van to dispose of their household waste will be required to register each time they wish to visit and access will last 24 hours. This is to help deter traders from using the service for free at the expense of local council tax-payers. Traders wishing to dispose of trade waste can pay to do so at our sites at Ashbourne and Stonegravels and can make an unlimited number of visits.
Derbyshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Infrastructure and Environment, Councillor Carolyn Renwick said: “This registration scheme will make things fairer and more cost effective for Derbyshire residents. Our neighbouring counties have introduced similar schemes and with this change each area will be dealing with and paying for its own waste and recycling.
“It’s all part of our efforts to strike the right balance between continuing to provide a good quality service for residents and making the necessary savings.
“Registering is quick and easy and available to do now, so I would encourage residents to register as soon as possible.”
Residents can register online at www.derbyshire.gov.uk/recyclingcentres. It is quick and easy to do and the most efficient way to get signed up. Those who are unable to register online can call into their nearest Derbyshire library where a librarian can help them to register. Anyone unable to register online or at their nearest library can phone Call Derbyshire on 01629 533190 to speak to someone who can help.
