‘Essential waste only’ restrictions at Derbyshire County Council-run tips have been dropped – but residents will still only be allowed in on certain days to avoid overcrowding.
It means residents can take the full range of waste usually accepted to any of the nine recycling centres across the county as long as they make the trip on the correct day based on the last number on their vehicle registration plate.

Vehicles with 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 as the last number on their registration plate will be allowed in on even dates in the month.
Those with 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9 as the last number on their registration plate will be allowed in on odd dates in the month.
Residents are being asked to avoid taking vans and trailers to recycling centres for a little while longer. This is because they have a larger capacity and take longer to empty, which could lead to longer traffic queues.
Derbyshire County Council’s cabinet member for highways, transport and infrastructure, Councillor Simon Spencer, said: “We’re taking a step-by-step approach to relaxing some of the restrictions put in place to manage demand so we could operate safely during the first weeks of reopening during the coronavirus pandemic, and I’m pleased to say we can now start to accept our usual range of waste.”
