The CRC Permit Scheme

Anybody using a trailer or commercial type vehicle (vans & pick-ups) will require permits to use the CRC's. Private cars including estate cars, people carriers and 4x4 vehicles which only have forward facing seats do not need permits.

Important notes:

1. Permits are free.
2. Having a valid permit does not entitle the holder to deposit trade waste at any CRC.
3. Permits should be applied for well in advance and will be issued by post. (Please allow for up to 2 weeks for delivery, but usually delivery will be within 1 week)
4. Permits issued by Telford & Wrekin Council can be used at all Shropshire sites. Permits issued by Shropshire County Council can be used at all of Telford & Wrekin Council sites.
5. Permits are non-transferable.
6. Permits are issued in groups of 10 (or 5 if the vehicle is owned by another person). You must give 1 to the site supervisor each time you enter a site. He will then check the waste is household not trade and that the permit corresponds to the vehicle.
7. If any of your details necessary for the permits change (i.e. your vehicle details) you must fill out another permit form and return unused permits as they will be no-longer valid.
8. To apply for more free permits just call 01952 384384. New permits are only issued when you have 3 or less remaining unused.

Hired vehicles - if hiring a vehicle for one day only please take hire company documentation and some proof of your home address with you to the CRC. You will then need to complete a simple form, before you will be allowed to deposit household waste. If hiring a vehicle for more than one day, please apply for permits in the usual way.

If any person deposits waste inside or outside the CRC, after being refused permission to deposit waste, details of the incident will be reported. Maximum penalty for fly-tipping is £20,000.
