To access this facility you are required to show identification showing your Tay Valley address. Waste items must be identifiable and in a sealed container or package. This facility cannot bulk flammable or highly vaporous liquids - therefore containers holding these liquids will not be returned (for example, gasoline containers containing gasoline are accepted, but the container will not be returned to you).
