Hazardous waste collection
Local residents may take hazardous waste to any County Council civic amenity site and give it to
the attendant. Private waste contractors will deal with hazardous
and special waste arising from a trade or business. Special
precautions may be needed when disposing of and moving hazardous
waste such as asbestos.
Allerdale Borough Council offers a special refuse collection to householders within
the borough for a charge. The council will arrange for all normal
household items (e.g. beds, wardrobes, three piece suites)
and white goods (e.g. fridges, freezers, cookers). We will
also make arrangements for the collection of garden and DIY refuse
for a charge.
