There are no actual disposal sites within Torbay but the Recycling Centre at Tor Park Road, Paignton is available to receive commercial waste for a fee.
All commercial waste must be taken to the weighbridge and a charge will be made for depositing commercial waste. All commercial customers need to bring Hi-Visability jackets with them when tipping commercial waste at the transfer station as no one will be allowed to tip without them.
