Recycling and Refuse

 

Main recycling area for glass, paper and cans is in Glenridding at the far end of the main car park.  Proceeds from this site go to the parish council (approx £500 - £700 a year) for use on local projects, so use this site as much as possible.

Patterdale school has recycling facilities for paper and inkjet cartridges.

There are also recycling stations in Penrith in the car parks at B&Q and Morrisons.

The nearest full range recycling facility is at Flusco tip (near Penrith).

Refuse Collections (Blue Sacks)

 
Eden District Council provides a maximum of two blue refuse sacks per household, per week for the collection of Household refuse. Large households of six or more occupants are entitled to one additional blue sack per week. Households where additional waste is generated by a medical condition may also be supplied with additional blue sacks.

Your blue sacks should preferably be set out early on the day of collection. However, if you have to put them out the night before please take steps to prevent Badgers or Foxes tearing them open during the night. Blue sacks should be set out at the boundary of the property on the kerbside and visible from the roadside.

Households setting out two sacks will receive two replacements sacks, whereas households setting out only one will receive one in return. Should no sacks be set out no replacements will be provided. Only refuse set out in the official blue sacks will be collected.

Items too large to place in a blue sack may be removed at a charge and will be collected as part of the bulky household waste service. Please do not use blue sacks for the disposal of clinical waste, garden rubbish, rubble, building waste, bricks, concrete, vehicle batteries or cans of paint or oil.

Additional blue sacks may be purchased from either the Mansion House or the Town Hall in Penrith.

For further information on blue sacks:
