Essential construction works which started on 13 February 2023 continue to be carried out at Shieldhall Depot. Phase 2 of the works will commence in January 2024 with little or no impact on the Household Waste Recycling Centre for the duration of the works.
As such, the Household Waste Recycling Centre will remain open for business as usual with waste and recycling materials now able to be disposed of into the loft building. Recycling Attendants will be on hand to guide residents accordingly.
Please note that vehicles over 1.8m high remain unable to access the site and should use the Dawsholm Recycling Centre transfer station and report to weighbridge.
From Monday 23 January 2023 Easter Queenslie will be closed to all vehicles over 1.8metres except for those disposing of White Goods and Green Waste. For disposal of Bulk items please use the Dawsholm.

Commercial waste will not be accepted at our Household Waste Recycling Centre.
Commercial Waste must go via the Weighbridge where you will be charged (see Weighbridge below)
All household recycling waste is subject to a visual inspection by on-site staff and you may be asked to provide proof of where the waste came from. Any waste that is suspected to be commercial will not be accepted. You may face enforcement action if an offence has been committed by the depositing of trade or commercial waste at one of our sites.
Easter Queenslie will be closed to all vehicles over 1.8metres except for those disposing of White Goods and Green Waste.
Vans used by residents will be accepted at Dawsholm only between 08:00 - 11:30 and 13:30 - 17:00. Entry will be refused at any other times. This is to enable us to safely manage the number of vans using the centre.
Please do not visit Shieldhall or Polmadie to use a van to transport your household materials as you will be refused entry.
All vans are required to report to the weighbridge and not the main household waste recycling centre entry point. Staff on site will then provide direction to the tipping location.
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
We want to encourage our household waste recycling centre 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 household waste recycling centres 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.
On arrival at the household waste recycling centre, 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 residents to treat our staff with respect and adhere to any instruction whilst on site.
