Residents asked to visit the Waste Transfer Station should report to the weighbridge office, located by the first gate, on the same site, at the Chalvey depot. There, your vehicle will be inspected to make sure only household waste is being thrown away or recycled. As part of this inspection, you may be asked for proof of address (such as a recent utility bill) and photo ID (driver's licence or passport).
