Some sites ask for bookings or ANPR registration at busy times. Rules change — always check your council’s page via the links in this tool before you travel.
Typical examples include DIY rubble (within limits), large electricals, batteries, paint, and some hazardous household items. Soft plastics and food waste usually have separate routes (supermarkets / food caddy).
No. Kerbside collections are covered in our Better Recycling and food waste guides. HWRCs (tips) are for bulky or specialist waste your bin service does not take.
Filter by council area and materials in the tool, then open the official site for opening hours and access rules. Residents sometimes need proof of address.
