Frequently Asked Questions

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?

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.
