Overview

Choose a centre for your vehicle

Brunswick accepts larger vehicles with the appropriate permit. Byker and Walbottle do not accept large vehicles requiring that permit. Check the council’s vehicle categories before choosing a site or hiring a van.

Allow enough time to unload

Last entry is 15 minutes before closing for small car loads, 30 minutes for large car loads and one hour for larger permitted loads. Opening times differ between centres. Leave enough time to unload and leave safely.

Check permit and access restrictions

Check whether your van, pick-up, trailer or hired vehicle needs a permit before travelling. A permit does not authorise business waste. Pedestrian entry is prohibited, but cargo bikes can enter. Check the vehicle dimensions and load restrictions in the visitor rules.

About Newcastle City Council

Newcastle City Council operates household waste and recycling centres for residents only. All visitors must arrive by vehicle or cargo bike, as access on foot is not permitted. Trade waste is strictly prohibited, and anyone attempting to dispose of business rubbish will be refused entry, even with a permit. Animals, including pets, are not allowed on site for safety reasons. These rules ensure the centres remain safe and efficient for household recycling and responsible waste disposal.
