Register to use the recycling centres

You do not need to book a time slot to use our recycling centres but you must be a South Gloucestershire resident and have registered your vehicle online at least 24 hours before you plan to visit.

You must use your home address to register. You only need to register once, unless you change your vehicle or move home.
