If you want to visit Gatewarth recycling centre in a van, large vehicle or with a trailer, you may need to apply for a permit in advance.
We don’t issue any permits for Woolston or Stockton Heath recycling centres,
We only accept household waste, you can’t bring trade waste to a community recycling centre, with or without a permit. We do offer a trade waste collection service.
