Frequently Asked
Questions
Why was the permit scheme introduced?
- The CVT permit scheme was introduced to prevent the use of
sites by traders disposing of their business waste, at a cost
bourne by the council tax payers of Herefordshire and
Worcestershire. The scheme was introduced to increase efficiencies
in terms of costs, and improve the service for genuine residents by
reducing inputs to the sites, and therefore queuing.
How do I use my CVT permits?
- Upon arrival to the Household Recycling Centre you
will need to hand your permit to the Recycling Assistant, who will
check the details on the permit and visually inspect your waste. A
permit does not entitle you to dispose of commercial waste, and if
the Recycling Assistant thinks it may be commercial waste you will
be refused permission to use the site and further enquires will be
made.
How many CVT permits do I get?
- Permits are issued in batches up to a maximum of 8 if you own
your commercial type vehicle or trailer. If you borrow or hire
a vehicle, or another individual from the same address already has
