​During 2023/24 the site processed 3,119.285 tonnes of waste and recycled/reused 2,158.845 tonnes,

which gives a recycle rate of 69.24%. In turn this saved over £130,000.00 in waste charges. Well done to everyone who recycles.

We hope that the information you will read on the site will be beneficial and encourage you to recycle more on our Island

​​Each month the site publishes, on a large sign near the site exit, the previous months Recycle & Reuse amounts as weight and a percentage of the total weight processed at the site.

The site goes to great lengths to increase recycling and re-use at the site, and in doing so, save the rate payers in our area money. Please sort your waste before coming to the site, if it can be recycled or reused, there will be a place for it at the site, but do not just throw it in the EfW skip.
