Overview

Gateshead Council’s current household waste and recycling service has two centres: Campground on Springwell Road at Wrekenton and Cowen Road at Blaydon. Our two associated records cover both official facilities, so current network coverage is complete. This page counts the council’s HWRCs only, not any separate bring-bank or recycling-point provision.

Book the correct Gateshead centre

Use Gateshead Council’s booking guidance for Campground or Cowen Road. Check your chosen centre, vehicle and appointment details together, and bring the identification requested in the booking instructions.

Campground has its own seasonal timetable

Sunderland Council also publishes Campground information for its residents. Its winter timetable runs from 1 October to 31 March: 9am–5pm on weekdays and 9am–6pm at weekends. Check the booking guidance and current notices before travelling.

Check Cowen Road’s rules before using a larger vehicle

Do not apply Campground’s timetable or vehicle arrangements automatically to Cowen Road. Use Gateshead’s centre information to confirm the correct opening, booking and load requirements for your visit.

About Gateshead Council

Gateshead Council operates two recycling centres where residents can dispose of household waste responsibly. To visit, you must book a slot in advance, ensuring fair access and reduced congestion. The final appointment of each day is limited to cars, motorcycles, and bicycles only. On arrival, site attendants may request your driving licence or proof of address to confirm your booking. Following these rules helps keep the centres safe, efficient, and accessible for all users.
