Overview

Sunderland City Council currently directs residents to one Household Waste and Recycling Centre at Pallion Industrial Estate. This page also retains the older Beach Street listing, which the council says is closed following the move to Pallion. Treat Pallion as the current facility and check the council’s latest site information before travelling.

Check Pallion’s winter opening times

From 1 October to 31 March, Pallion’s published hours are 8am–5pm on weekdays and 8am–6pm at weekends. Check the current timetable and book before travelling. Campground is a separate option with its own Gateshead booking arrangements.

Check both vehicle length and trailer rules

Pallion’s vehicle rules include a maximum vehicle length of five metres and separate limits for single-axle trailers. Vans cannot tow a trailer into the site. Check the full permitted-vehicle list before arranging a larger load.

Keep vapes and batteries out of general waste

Use the designated collection points for vapes, e-cigarettes and batteries. The council identifies a blue barrel near Pallion’s exit for vapes and e-cigarettes. Ask staff if you cannot find it rather than putting these items in general waste.
