About Bristol Council
Bristol City Council operates three recycling centres at St Philips, Avonmouth, and Hartcliffe Way. Residents must book an appointment before visiting, and only Bristol residents can use the sites. On arrival, visitors need to provide proof of residency such as photo ID with a council tax bill, a photo ID with a utility bill, or a student ID confirming Bristol student status. Vans and trailers require a permit before being granted access to the recycling centres.

Bristol "Insider" Rules
- Bicycles & Pedestrians: You do NOT need to book if visiting by bike (all sites) or on foot (Hartcliffe Way only). You must still bring ID.
- The "Little Reuse Shop" Trap: You don't need a booking to visit the main shops at Avonmouth/Hartcliffe, but you MUST book to visit the "Little Reuse Shop" at St Philips as it is inside the tip gates.
- Height Restrictions: If your vehicle is over 2.4m high, you can ONLY use the Hartcliffe Way site.
- Hire Vehicles: Select the "Hire Vehicle" option when booking and bring your rental agreement paperwork.
Unique Tip: Bristol Waste runs Reuse Shops on-site. Instead of dumping working tech or decent furniture, head to the donation station. It keeps the city's waste down and supports local community projects!
