Bringing Waste to Seaton Meadows

What do I need before I bring a load in?

• An account set up on our system, or agreement to accept a cheque
• A written quote from our Sales Department, detailing the type of waste
• A copy of your Waste Carriers Registration
• A Duty of Care (Waste Transfer) Note
• A Special Waste Consignment Note if appropriate (e.g. for asbestos)
• Minimum PPE – high-visibility jacket, hard hat, suitable boots
• Extra PPE if required (e.g. RPE for asbestos)
• A vehicle suitable for the waste and the tip face

When is the site open?
Monday to Friday - 7:30 to 17:00 and Saturday - 7:30 to 12:00
We close for Bank Holidays, and in very high wind conditions.
Please don’t bring packaged loads in to site during the last hour before we close.

What loads do I need to book in advance?
All hazardous loads, and all packaged loads.

Do I need to book non-hazardous loads?
No – unless they are packaged and we need to make sure the forklift is available.

What’s all this about “waste acceptance criteria”?
It’s a requirement for all potentially hazardous materials. Under the legislation, the producer is required to characterise the waste. Don’t worry, we can advise you on this, just give us a call.

If you need to have the waste analysed, there are a number of accredited laboratories offering this service. One of these (D.E.T.S.) is not too far away in Consett.

How do I find the site?
From the north: leave the A19 at the Bishop Auckland / Hartlepool junction and take the A689 east towards Hartlepool. As you enter Hartlepool, turn right into Seaton Lane at the first traffic island (by the Owlton Lodge public house). Turn right at the next traffic island into Brenda Road. Follow this road almost to the end, we are on the left hand side.

From the south: leave the A19 at the A1046 Haverton Hill Road. Follow this through Billingham and the Clarences, then turn left for Seaton Carew (A178). Continue until you pass the Tioxide plant and TERRC, then turn left at the island into Brenda Road (opposite the power station). Seaton Meadows is on the right.
