Covid-19 pandemic

In order to protect our customers and staff, we require that any visitors to our HWRCs wear a face covering at all times while on site.

Our HWRCs are open for essential use only and we strongly encourage all residents to make full use of their household recycling services wherever possible to avoid unnecessary travel during the pandemic.

Anyone in self isolation or with Covid-19 symptoms must not visit our HWRCs under any circumstances.

For more information, read our dedicated Covid-19 service update page.

Re-use opportunities

It is better for the environment to re-use waste material wherever possible, rather than sending it for recycling, energy recovery or disposal, and there are a wide range of opportunities available to help with this.

Please visit our webpage which will provide more information on the National Re-use Tool

What can I do at home to improve recycling?

We want to encourage our HWRC customers to recycle for Glasgow and help us move towards becoming a carbon neutral City.

The key to achieving high rates of good quality recyclable material starts at home. Before arrival at any of our HWRCs we ask all customers to kindly separate your items into different waste types, rather than arriving with a mix of all different materials.

This will help ensure material reaches the proper recycling outlet; otherwise material could become contaminated and fail to be recycled.

Household Waste and Recycling Centres facilities

On arrival at the HWRCs, our staff are on hand to help and assist members of the public by ensuring material is deposited appropriately and providing advice and guidance when needed. We ask all customers to treat our staff with respect and adhere to any instruction whilst on site.

Our HWRCs provide recycling outlets for a wide range of common recyclable household materials and we will continue to expand the recycling services we offer to our customers.
