How delivery works in Dunbartonshire
Bulk bags are usually lifted off by crane where access allows; tell us where they can sit and whether the ground is firm. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Dunbartonshire.
- Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
