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 items 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.
