About BCP Council

BCP Council runs three recycling centres for residents of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. Anyone using the facilities does not need to pre-book, but proof of address within the council area is required on arrival. People can visit by car, on foot, or by bicycle. Pedestrians and cyclists must stop at the security gate and show acceptable identification. These centres support responsible waste disposal by offering safe and accessible recycling opportunities to local households.
