Book a visit to the Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC)

The HWRC is open for pre-booked visits. This approach limits the number of vehicles queuing on surrounding roads and minimises disruption to local businesses and our waste collections crew, which operate from the same site.

Key points:

  • The HWRC is open every day except Wednesdays
  • The earliest slot you can book is at 8.00am to 8.20am
  • The latest slot you can book is at 4.00pm to 4.20pm
  • The HWRC no longer accepts commercial or trade customers, vehicles over 3.5 tonnes or vehicles with tail lifts. For commercial waste disposal, email wasteservices@swindon.gov.uk. 

There are a number of requirements for visiting the HWRC. Please read the information on these pages carefully to avoid being turned away from the HWRC.
