Book every recycling-centre visit

A slot must be booked before visiting any Gwynedd recycling centre. Book online or call 01766 771000. Opening days vary: Y Bala and Blaenau Ffestiniog have fewer operating days than the larger sites.

Check the separate van permit

Qualifying goods vehicles need a free van permit before a slot can be booked. The permit allows up to 18 household-waste slots per year. Some vehicles with rear windows and seats are exempt; hire vans cannot currently apply.

Arrange cement-bonded asbestos in advance

Only Caernarfon, Dolgellau and Garndolbenmaen accept limited domestic quantities of cement-bonded asbestos. Call 01766 771000 before travelling and follow the council’s packaging instructions. Whole garage or shed roofs and contractor-generated asbestos are outside this household provision.
