Of all the waste that our district sends to landfill each year, 60 per cent of it isn't from households - it's from commercial operators (think building sites, demolition sites and office clear-outs).

The aim of The Sorting Depot is to collect recyclable and reusable commercial materials and send them to places that can recycle them, rather than losing this useful material to landfill.

The Sorting Depot, on Colson Road, opened to business account customers in 2023 and has so far diverted more than 4,000 tonnes of recyclable materials from the landfill. The depot is owned by NPDC but operated by Evolve Ltd.

Unfortunately, it's operating at a larger loss than was budgeted for. NPDC is considering the future of The Sorting Depot, and we'd like to get your opinion.

Please fill out the short survey below by 5pm Friday 12 December 2025.

Your input matters - help shape the future of The Sorting Depot.
