The Peninsula Community Recycling Centre

Shotley Road, Chelmondiston IP9 1EF

This site reopened on 4th August 2011, and operates as Village Skip Days ... which are being run on a voluntary basis by two local residents.

In 2014 the Parish Council asked and was granted by Babergh District Council for the Recycle Centre to be listed as an Asset of the Community. The Asset of the Community Registration expired in March 2019 and the Parish Council renewed the asset in May of 2019. In July the Chairman was asked to deliver a speech at a local Babergh District Council and Mid Suffolk event promoting the reycle centre and the achievements of the volunteers who run it.

In 2019 the Lease for the Recycling Centre was renewed with Suffolk County Council for another 6 years.

The opening times are:

Wednesday: 9.30am - noon

Saturday: 9.30am - noon

Bank Holiday Mondays: Closed

Due to the Recycling Centre being run by volunteers there may be times when the Recycle Centre may not be open. An example being extreme weather.

 

                                                             This service is for the community so PLEASE SUPPORT IT.

The Parish Council holds a Waste Carriers Licence, No: C8D1515551 with the Environment Agency which was registered 31 December 2023 and will last indefinitely.  Link

Alan Nunn, who manages the site as a volunteer, can pick up your washing machines or any waste metal.
If you can't get to the site on a Saturday or Wednesday morning, give Alan a call on 01473 780 654 and he will arrange, if possible, to open up at another time.

Disposing of waste costs money so we are asking you to contribute as the recycle is self funding. 

The starting prices are from £2.00 and larger loads are negotiable.

The site will accept all items EXCEPT fridges/freezers, gas bottles, TV monitors, tyres, plasterboard, asbestos,  liquid and hazardous wastes, including paint and garden soil.

Green Waste skip: Please empty your waste as we don't want plastic bags in this skip.

 

Bottle Banks

You will find  bottle banks by the Peninsula Recycling Centre on the Shotley Road, the revenue from which helps with the cost of the skips at the centre.

A further two bottle banks can be found in the village, opposite the Red Lion pub.
We ask you to have consideration for the residents who live nearby when depositing your bottles in the village banks.

Paper Bank

Please do NOT put cardboard or polystyrene into these banks.

Outside the Recycling Centre on the Shotley Road.

Peninsula Recycling Centre, Chelmondiston

Textile Bank

Outside the Recycling Centre on the Shotley Road.
Please DO NOT put pillows and duvets into the Textile Bank.

Revenue gained from these Recycling Banks will go towards the cost of skip hire for the Village Skip Days.

PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE YOUR RUBBISH BY THE RECYCLING BANKS. THIS WILL BE SEEN AS FLY-TIPPING WHICH IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.  Offenders will be referred to law enforcement.
