How can I set up a public drop-off point?

To set up a public drop-off point, you'll first need to decide where your drop-off point will be. It could be your home, local school, or community facility. When you sign up as a public drop-off point, you will need to provide opening hours, when the general public will be able to drop off their waste, and the location that will need to be easily accessible to the general public, with clear signage. Public drop-off locations must offer access to the drop-off points for a minimum of 3 hours a week. If you also operate at regular community events, such as fetes, festivals, or community markets, please add the details to the notes section.
