Things to remember before your visit:

• Wherever possible, please make use of the weekly kerbside recycling collections for:
  • Plastics, cans and cartons
  • Paper and card
  • Glass bottles and jars
  • Food
• Consider whether your unwanted items could have a second life? Find out more about choose to reuse.
• From 1 April 2025, you will need to pay to take DIY waste to the Household Recycling Centres. You can find out more on our DIY waste charges information page.  If you are planning a house clearance or a large building/DIY project, hiring a skip from a reputable waste company would be more appropriate
• If you drive a commercial type vehicle or intend on using a trailer for your visit? You may need a Commercial Vehicle or Trailer (CVT) Permit. You can find out more on our Commercial Vehicle or Trailer (CVT) Permits page.
• Before arriving at the Household Recycling Centre, all materials must be separated ready to be recycled correctly in the correct containers.
• Any bags or boxes of mixed, unsorted materials will be refused.
• Items bought to the centre must be recycled correctly. Throwing anything away in the residual/general rubbish skips must be a last resort and only used for non-recyclable items.
• If you are unsure in which containers to recycle your items in at the Household Recycling Centre, please speak to a member of staff who will be happy to help.
• Please wear suitable clothing and footwear when visiting the Household Recycling Centre.
• Children and pets must remain in vehicles at all times.
