The height barrier for the site is 1.9 metres (if your vehicle is taller, follow the signs around the barrier).

Pedestrian and bike access

We don't allow access to the main site for pedestrians or bicycles for safety reasons - Please use the dedicated disposal area to the left of the main site entrance. We've placed bins here for general rubbish and some types of recycling including garden waste, cardboard, cartons, foil, glass, plastics and paper.

You can also leave other items accepted on site such as small electrical items, which our staff will place in the correct containers. Usage of this area is regularly monitored to avoid misuse. If you require assistance, for example purchasing a compost bin from the pedestrian access point, please get in touch with our team in advance of your visit using ycc@york.gov.uk.
