Please note that trade refuse is not accepted at this RRC. Staff on site might ask to look the waste you wish to deposit – this is to prevent the site being used for this type of refuse. Trade refuse can be taken to the Jenkins Lane site (also run by Shanks East London) on the junction with the A406 and the A13. Click
here to find out more about taking trade refuse to Jenkins Lane.
