FACILITIES FOR RIVER USERS Water, Fuel, Waste & Recycling
Dart Harbour is committed to protecting the environment and recycling waste as much as possible. Currently we ask customers when disposing of their waste to separate glass and aluminum cans from general waste. Our waste contractor then separates the general waste even further, such as plastic, for further recycling. Please bag and bin your rubbish. Recycle and
re-use where possible and if the bins are full, please ring the Harbour Office or contact staff on the water via VHF Ch. 11. Please do not leave waste bags on pontoons as they encourage sea gulls. Hazardous waste, batteries or oil should be taken home or deposited in approved facilities by prior arrangement with the Harbour Office. Costs may be associated with large quantities.
All waste from vessels in Dartmouth must be disposed of using bins provided on the waste pontoon. This is located mid stream up river of the fuel barge and has the capacity to recycle a variety of waste types. Users of the Town Jetty must use the waste bins located on the pontoon and NOT use the trade skips belonging to local businesses (located ashore).
Water Water supplies for visiting vessels are available on the Dart Harbour waste pontoon mid river and the Town Jetty (Hoses not supplied). Contact Dart Harbour staff if assistance is required.
Fuel The Fuel Barge, which is privately run, is located mid river, south of the Higher Ferry and close to the main channel. It is clearly marked on its side. (VHF Ch.6 / 07801 798861)

Batteries By arrangement with Dart Harbour staff (batteries are not to be leſt on pontoons).
