Centres are open every day except Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day.

When visiting the Household Waste Recycling Centres please remember:

  • To plan your visit and avoid peak times (weekends and bank holidays are our busiest periods and you should expect delays)
  • Consider which materials can be recycled and re-used
  • Segregate your recyclables before your visit
  • Wear appropriate clothing, footwear (no flip flops or sandals) and gloves
  • There is a height barrier of 1.75m at the entrance and exit to every site, please ask attendants if you require assistance
