Overview

Cambridgeshire County Council’s current directory lists nine Household Recycling Centres: Alconbury, Bluntisham, March, Milton, St Neots, Thriplow, Whittlesey, Wisbech and Witchford. Our associated listings match all nine named sites. The network reaches neighbouring service areas such as Huntingdonshire and Peterborough, so broader taxonomy labels on some records do not by themselves indicate a wrong facility.

About Cambridgeshire Council

Cambridgeshire County Council operates nine recycling centres across the county, providing facilities for residents to dispose of household waste responsibly. Entrance gates close 10 minutes before the published closing times, so plan your visit carefully. To save time, sort your waste before you go, making it quicker and easier to empty your vehicle. Avoid peak times such as 11am to 2pm, weekends, and bank holidays. If vehicles are queuing on arrival, you should return at a quieter time.
