A-Z of how to recycle or dispose of your household waste

There are a whole host of items that can be recycled or disposed of at our Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs), also known as rubbish tips. In many cases small amounts can be recycled by the collections from your home or at local recycling banks.

There are also some items that cannot be taken to the HWRC, but needs specialist disposal, such as asbestos.
