Recycling centres

The Queens Platinum Jubilee Bank Holiday

Our recycling centres will still be open on Thursday 2 and Friday 3 June 2022. Please check the individual site pages to see when your nearest recycling centre is open.

We are currently experiencing a large number of visitors at local recycling centres. Only visit the sites if your journey is essential. Please be aware that sites close promptly at 4pm and there will be no entry after this time. You may be turned away before 4pm to allow those on the sites to dispose of their waste safely and correctly.

Recycling centre summer opening times start from Friday 1 April 2022 to Friday 30 September 2022.

Proof of residency

residents must accompany their waste to the recycling centre, regardless of who is transporting it
hired or unmarked vans may need to provide proof of residency before being granted permission to use the site
residents will be required to provide proof of residency on request (this should be in the form of a utility bill, bank statement or drivers licence)

It is important that site users understand what is expected of them and what standard of service they can receive in return. More information can be found on our code of conduct page.

Please be aware that access to the recycling sites may be restricted if you are unable to provide proof of residency.

Individual Recycling centres

Opening times and what we accept at each recycling centre differ. Please view your nearest centres page to find more information:

Can I have a calendar showing when my recycling and waste will be collected?

Answer:: You can print off a calendar from the website.

Can I write my house name/number on my containers?

Answer:: Yes you can do this.

When and where do I place my containers out for collection?

Answer:

Containers are to be placed at the edge of your property, unless assisted service is provided. Containers need to be available for emptying from 7am on the scheduled day of collection.

If you have a shared driveway or shared access then you need to place your containers for emptying where the driveway meets the main adopted public highway.

Can I place soil in my garden bin?

Answer:: A small amount of soil can be taken if placed into the garden bin but we advise not to fill the bin with soil. If the bin is too heavy to move then the crew will not be able to empty it. Soil can be taken to your local Household Waste Recycling Centre.

Can I order a bin/box?

Answer:

In 2022 residents will transfer to the new recycling and waste service, this will mean that recycling will be collected in bins instead of boxes. Therefore, from 1 January 2022 residents will not be able to order additional or replacement boxes.

If you do not have any recycling boxes, please use an alternative suitable container to put out your recycling until your new wheeled bins are delivered.

Recycling and waste collection service, your questions answered.

I don't have any recycling boxes, what can I use instead?

Answer:

Please continue to recycle as much as you can. Recycling can be put out for collection in a suitable container such as a cardboard or plastic box or carrier bag.

Please do not put recycling in black bags.
