Mobile Household Recycling Centres
About our Mobile Household Recycling Centres
Our 4 Mobile Household Recycling Centres (MHRCs) visit all areas of the city. They visit each location for one morning – from 7am to midday. This means they visit 20 different places in the city each week.
You can dispose of recycling and household general waste at our MHRCs.
There are staff on site to help you at each MHRC.
This service is not for commercial use. We have a commercial waste service for businesses.
If you arrive in a commercial vehicle, for example, a van, we will check that you are not disposing of commercial waste. We will ask you to sign a form, and you will be limited to disposing of 10 items or 20 black bags. People who arrive in a commercial vehicle will only be allowed to visit the MHRC once.
