Overview

Glasgow City Council’s current household recycling-centre network has four sites: Dawsholm, Easter Queenslie, Polmadie and Shieldhall. The four associated records cover the official city list. This page represents household facilities rather than Glasgow’s wider recycling points and bring sites; the council also publishes separate guidance for different vehicle types and materials, so site-specific details remain on each listing.

Keep upholstered seating separate

Glasgow has introduced separate containment for waste upholstered domestic seating. Keep sofas and other upholstered seating separate from the rest of your load, and ask staff where these items must go.

Ask about mattress and polystyrene recycling

The council reports dedicated storage areas for mattresses and polystyrene packaging at its household recycling centres. Ask staff for the appropriate recycling area instead of putting these materials straight into general waste.

Confirm your chosen site’s vehicle arrangements

Check the council’s current visitor guidance before bringing a van, trailer or unusually large load. Sort the materials at home, and follow the instructions for the specific centre rather than assuming all four sites have identical access arrangements.

About Glasgow City Council

Glasgow City Council operates four recycling centres for residents to dispose of household waste responsibly. These sites accept a wide range of materials including glass, cardboard, plastics, garden waste, and small electrical items. Commercial waste is not accepted. Proof of Glasgow residency may be required when visiting. Visitors should sort waste before arrival and follow site staff instructions. The centres help reduce landfill, encourage recycling, and support a cleaner, greener Glasgow community.
