How to use our waste wizard

Use our waste wizard search to find out:

  • other ways you can repair, reuse or recycle household items
  • whether your district council can collect your item and which bin to put it in
  • the types of waste we accept at a household waste recycling centre.

Tell us about a missing or inaccurate item.

Results are organised in the following order:

  1. Reusing or repairing items - these are better options for the environment.
  2. Whether your district council collects the item for recycling or disposal.
  3. Household waste recycling centre information.

Links to other websites and businesses

The search contains links to other websites and businesses. If you use the links, you will leave our website. The links are provided for your information and convenience only and are not an endorsement. We advise you to check that the business or charity accept items before visiting.

Before you visit a waste recycling centre

Before you visit one of our Household Waste Recycling Centres, take a minute to sort your mixed rubbish and recycling. 

If you arrive at a centre with a bag of mixed rubbish that contains recycling, a member of the team will:

  • tell you where to place each item
  • request that you separate it to maximise recycling
