The Sorting Depot is temporarily closed.
Why is it closing?
The current operating contract for The Sorting Depot is coming to an end at the end of March. Following a Council decision on 18 February 2026, we explored options for an interim contract to keep the facility operating while longer‑term solutions were investigated.
However, due to budget constraints, the interim arrangement will not proceed but we are continuing to look into long-term options.
The final day of operation is Monday 30 March 2026
After this date, customers will need to make alternative arrangements for sorting and diverting materials.
