Notes

On Friday 16 September - for 4 weeks until Friday 14 October - the household recycling centre will not be able to accept hard plastics or wood due to essential maintenance works elsewhere on the site. Gloucestershire County Council household recycling centres will take these materials but a booking slot is required.

All other materials can still be accepted at the household recycling centre in Swindon Road and opening hours remain as advertised. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
