The recycling centre (HWRC) reopened on Wednesday 20 May but you will need to pre-book slots and it is only for items that cannot be disposed of safely through other legitimate means.

We are also introducing dedicated bookable slots for key workers from Saturday 11 July, as more general capacity is also added at the centre to make more slots available.

Key workers include:

• all emergency services
• health and care workers
• local authority staff
• utility workers, education staff
• food provision or delivery drivers.

If you fit into any of these groups, you will be able to book in advance for a Saturday morning slot but you will need to take ID with you when you go to use the Recycling Centre.

Other residents can also book a slot during the rest of the week and it’s the same process.

Please remember that visiting the HWRC during these times will be very different from what you are used to. As well as needing to book before you visit, please observe the following rules:

• No more than 2 people per car
• Stay two metres apart
• You will need to dispose of your own waste at the HWRC
• Please respect our staff and keep your distance
• No trailers are allowed

The recycling centre will be closed on Bank Holidays.

Please check what items should be taken to the HWRC now it has reopened.

Cars are allowed to visit Monday to Friday.

Vans are allowed to visit Monday to Friday. Please note vans can only bring the equivalent amount of waste that would fit inside a family car. They should not be used to bring commercial waste to the Recycling Centre.
