Emergency Site Keys
Health and Safety
The committee would encourages all plot holders to have at least 2 keys and that one key is given to the person that the plot holder would contact should they require assistance. Obviously, this person would need to know the layout of the site and the location of the plot.
You can pick up an additional key from the Treasurer; David Noddings, 14 Breck Road, Darlington, DL3 8NH. Please phone him on 01325 462658 to arrange a collection time. The deposit for this key is the standard £15.
Bonfires
Bonfires are currently permitted on weekends
between 1st November and 28 March
be mindful of wind conditions
no plastic, carpets or things from home
please keep everything to burn on your own plot

HGA - Waste Disposal
Metal
Leave any metal in the collection bay in the main car park.
We will get this collected by a scrap dealer.
We usually get some cash for it to add to our funds.
Once emptied, the metal bay will be closed down until October.
Woody Material
Wood for chipping including brambles can be left next to the woodchip area at the top of row 7
DO NOT burn - plastic, contiboard, roofing felt, tyres, asbestos, oil, paint, plasterboard, carpets as it leaves the chemical residue in the soil.
Compostable Material
Should be composted on your own plot.
Glass
Small stuff - Take it home.
Big panes - Take it home or to the Household Waste Recycling Centre (Tip) @Mewburn Road, DL3 0RY.
General Waste
Take it home
Anything Else?
The only option is to take any other waste to the council tip yourselves.
Carpets
Do not bring old carpets onto the site to use as ground cover or on compost bins.
They rot and release toxins into the soil.
Remove them and replace them with a breathable plastic weed suppressant.
