Permits for commercial waste
If you have paid for an annual permit to dispose of recyclable commercial waste, you do not need to book an appointment, and can visit a site as you normally would with recyclable materials. For terms and conditions visit our commercial waste webpage.
Why is there a booking system?
We carried out an in person and an online survey to seek people’s views on the booking system. In total over 2,400 responses were received. We found that not only is there very strong satisfaction with our recycling centres, there is also strong support to retain a booking system. Overall, more than 65% of those surveyed wanted to retain a booking system.
The booking system has reduced queuing and improved the customer experience during visits. Rather than having peak times such as weekends and bank holidays where people used to have to queue, sometimes for extended periods, the booking system has spread visitors out during the day meaning people can be in and out to recycle their items much more quickly and easily.
