All Household Recycling Centres (HRCs) allow borough householders to make essential visits to dispose of additional household waste that they are unable to store at home.

Reminder: items dropped off to our reuse container on site are for Habitat for Humanity, supporting this local charity and making DIY and furniture items accessible to all. No items can be removed from site.”
