Redruth’s commercial activity is concentrated on its northern side, where Cardrew and Treleigh industrial estates sit close to the A30 and house a mix of manufacturing, trade counters, vehicle depots and storage. A few miles east, the United Downs area near St Day accommodates waste transfer, recycling and other heavy uses on former mining land, served by lanes that need regular attention.
The town is also a crossroads. The A30 passes to the north with junctions at Avers and Scorrier, the A393 runs south-east to Falmouth through Lanner, and the A3047 heads west through Barncoose and Pool to Camborne. Infill housing, conversions of old industrial buildings and steady highway and utility maintenance on those routes make up the rest of the sweeping work.
Redruth and surrounding villages covered
A Redruth booking can include Illogan, Barncoose, Scorrier, St Day, Carharrack, Lanner and Four Lanes, with Portreath and Porthtowan on the coast also reachable. Camborne and Pool are served alongside. Demand for the limited number of sweepers in Cornwall rises in wet weather, so availability is always checked before a slot is offered.
