Visiting the site

You need to wear a hard hat and a high-visibility vest when you visit. Due to Covid precautions, we can no longer lend these out, please bring your own otherwise you will be required to purchase these at £12 (including VAT) a set, payment by card only.

Sometimes we have to close the site for around 20 minutes at a time to deal with a bulky articulated lorry load. If you wait patiently, we’ll open again as soon as possible.

If you’re a Bexley resident in a van

You can throw away up to 500kg of household waste per financial year (April to March) for free. If you go over this we’ll charge you for every extra 100kg using the guide below. We accept card payments only.

From 1 September 2023, there will be a reduction in the annual weight allowance from 500kg to 250kg for residents in vans at Thames Road Transfer Station.

You’ll need a photo ID and proof of address to enter. A current photocard driving licence will do for both, or you can bring a passport with a council tax bill in the same name.

• any vehicle with side panels instead of rear windows
• any vehicle which has had the rear seats removed permanently
