Household Recycling Centres (HRCs)

Locations and opening times

The A-Z directory of Wiltshire's Household Recycling Centres, their locations, opening times and site specific information.

Recycling centres will be closed from 1pm on 24 December and all-day Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day. All other days will operate under normal opening hours on their specified opening days. 

Before visiting your local Household Recycling Centre (HRC) see the What you can bring to a Household Recycling Centre page to check that your items are able to be disposed of.

You should only use the HRCs that are within the Wiltshire Council local authority area. If you pay your council tax to Swindon Borough Council visit Swindon Borough Council: Bins, rubbish and recycling (opens new window).

You should sort your items by material such as wood, metals, batteries, green waste and electricals to reduce your time on site.

Accessing your local Household Recycling Centre

You must attend a site in a vehicle. Pedestrians are not permitted to enter the site.

All sites have containers with steps. If you need support to dispose of your goods, let a staff member know and they will provide assistance.

Attending a site with a van

If you plan to visit a site with a van, pickup, or large trailer to dispose of your own household waste, you will need a permit. See the Household Recycling Centre Vehicle Permits page for details, and to apply.

Having a van or trailer does not mean you are able to bring trade waste. See the  page for information on what to do with commercial waste.

Proof of address

You should only use the HRCs that are within the Wiltshire Council local authority area. If you pay your council tax to Swindon Borough council visit Swindon Borough Council: Bins, rubbish and recycling (opens new window).
