Recycling centres and points

Visiting recycling centres

Please note, last entry will be 15 minutes before closing. All vehicles must be off site by closing time.

All visitors to recycling centres are reminded that you cannot enter the sites on foot or by bicycle.

If you are travelling to a Recycling Centre in a van or with a trailer, check beforehand if you need a Recycling Centre Permit (or an exemption).

Please be prepared to wait as users will be spending more time on site per visit. Please note the following conditions will apply:

• If you are a Domestic Exemption Permit Holder [696Kb] or a Commercial Permit Holder [699Kb], please display your permit in your windscreen. This should either be an A4 sized print out, or electronically on a tablet. Due to social distancing, we cannot accept permits displayed on phones
• Please ensure you have separated your materials in advance of going to the Recycling Centre. This will reduce your time on site
• Each site has a limit to the number of vehicles permitted. Please stay in your vehicle until you have been allocated a space to unload your items. Be prepared to wait in a queue
• Site Attendants may ask you what materials you have in order to direct you to the correct unloading point and reduce visitors wandering around the site
• Only one person per vehicle may exit the car to dispose of items unless absolutely necessary (for example lifting bulky items)
• You will not be permitted to queue on the road - if you arrive at the site and there is no room to queue off-road, you must leave and return at another time
• Site Attendants will not be permitted to assist in lifting or carrying of bags
