Book a slot

Visits to the Recycling Village have changed.

You need to book a slot to visit the Recycling Village (tip).

There is no charge for booking a slot.


Book a slot

If your vehicle needs a permit you will need to apply for a new permit before you can book a date and time to visit.


If you are visiting in a car

Your allowance

If you are visiting in a car, you will be able to book up to 4 visits per calendar month.

You can use more than 1 slot on the same day if you want to.

Your allowance will be based on your address and vehicle registration number:

  • you cannot book more than 4 slots per calendar month for your address, even if you have more than one car
  • if you have used all of your allowance for the month, you cannot book a slot for the same vehicle using a different address
  • if you use your vehicle on behalf of someone else, this will count against your allowance

Your allowance will not roll forward if you don't use all of your available slots for the month.

Checking how many slots you have left

If you provide an email address, you will get a confirmation email every time you book, which will include your booking reference number and the number of slots you have used.

If you book online, you will also be reminded of how many slots you have used when you book.


If your vehicle needs a permit

The permit system has changed.

You will need to:

  • apply for a new permit
