Household Recycling Centres (HRCs)

A VCSE Household Recycling Centre Permit allows you to dispose of recyclable materials that have been donated by Wiltshire Council residents but have been unable to be repurposed or resold.

VCSE Household Recycling Centre Permit holders are not permitted to dispose of any non-recyclable items.

Charges

Wiltshire Council offers a 6-visit permit for £68, or a 12-visit for £107. This permit does not expire but you are only able to renew your visits 12 months from the date your permit was issued.
