Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need to book a visit to a recycling centre?

A: If you’re driving a van or towing a trailer, you must book a slot in advance. Cars generally do not require a booking. Bookings are only available to Shropshire residents.

Q: Can I bring business or commercial waste?

A: No, it’s an offence under Section 34 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 to bring waste from a business. Only household waste is accepted.

Q: What types of recycling can I bring?

A: You can recycle around 30 different materials at Shropshire HRCs. Separate your items before you arrive to help reduce congestion and maximise recycling efficiency.

Q: Are there limits on construction or DIY waste?

A: Only small amounts of DIY or construction waste are accepted—no more than 0.5 cubic metres (about a small car boot). Larger quantities must be disposed of via a hired skip.

Q: What ID do I need to bring?

A: You must show proof of Shropshire residency, such as a driving licence, utility bill, or council tax bill, when checking in at the site. Staff will confirm your booking and allow entry.
