Swindon Road recycling centre
The recycling centre in Swindon Road houses facilities for the disposal of household waste. Vans, whether or not privately owned, are not permitted. Small household trailers are accepted but must not be detached from the vehicle, so the items will need to be liftable. Staff on site are happy to assist with unloading where required.

- Monday to Friday - 7.30am to 7.30pm (summer time) and 7.30am to 6.30pm (winter time)
- Saturdays - 7.30am to 4.00pm
- Sundays and bank holidays - 9.00am to 1.00pm
