Crunch service
The Crunch Service provided by Allerdale
Borough Council is a service designed to assist residents with the
disposal of additional domestic waste. The service was introduced a
number of years ago to towns in parts of the borough where there
were no existing Household Waste Recycling Centres.
The area to be used for the crunch will be
cordoned off allowing convenient access to the refuse vehicle and
ensuring a steady flow of vehicles in and out of the site. This we
hope, will save you time as well as making the service as safe as
possible. Please do not attempt to place materials in the vehicle
yourself; a trained crew will be on hand to do this for you.
Please do not dump material at the crunch
locations prior to the arrival of the vehicle. We ask that
residents who arrive early with waste are patient and wait for the
collection vehicle.
The long term future of the crunch is reliant
on the public working within these guidelines, if incidents of
fly-tipping continue in advance of the vehicle as they have in the
recent past, Allerdale Borough Council may reconsider the location
of the service.
