Book a visit to the Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC)
Improvements at HWRC
If you're visiting the HWRC you may notice we are making a few changes to improve site security and customer experience.
We will provide further updates on this important work in due course, but for now please continue to use the site as you normally would.
The HWRC is open for pre-booked visits only. This is to ensure we maintain the safety of residents, staff and other site users.
This approach limits the number of vehicles queuing on surrounding roads and minimise disruption to local businesses. We also do not wish to disrupt our waste collections, which operate from the same site.
This means:
- The HWRC is now open everyday except Wednesdays. The first slot you can book is at 8.00am, and the final slot is at 4.00pm.
- The HWRC remains closed to trade customers and will not be accepting vans over 3.5 tonnes or vehicles with tail lifts until further notice.
There are a number of new requirements for anyone wanting to visit the HWRC. Please read the information on these pages carefully to avoid being turned away from the HWRC and wasting your journey.
The pages will tell you:
- What you need to know before you book, including how the booking system works and what to expect when you get to the HWRC
- How to get to the HWRC and what you can bring
- Answers to general questions you may have about the new system
