Temporary closures at some of our household waste recycling centres

We're carrying out a programme of planned drainage improvement works at a number of our household waste recycling centres over the coming months. This is to help protect the environment and improve site safety.

Some sites will be temporarily closed while new drainage systems are installed.

As drainage improvement works continue at some of our recycling centres, residents have relied on other sites and this has increased the traffic and wait times. You should expect longer queues than normal, particularly during weekends, bank holidays and peak times.

Temporary traffic signals are available on site and will be used when necessary to manage queues and traffic flow on nearby roads safely. Where possible, visit later in the day when centres are generally quieter.

Sites with planned closures

The following sites have planned full closures. Ahead of each closure, there will be a three-day transition period where some waste containers are removed from the site in preparation for the works.

Exact closure and reopening dates will be confirmed and published once the programme timetable has been finalised.

What to do if your nearest recycling centre is closed

If your nearest recycling centre is closed, you can continue to use our other household waste recycling centres. You can also use recycling centres in Doncaster if needed. Before travelling, please check the opening times and accepted materials for your chosen site. 

If you can't get to another site, you could consider storing any non-urgent items safely until your local site reopens.

You can also use our bulky waste collection service if your items are too big to put in your bin and are on our standard list of items we can collect. 

All household bin waste and recycling collections will continue as normal throughout the works.

Always dispose of your waste responsibly.
