Service Update

Due to essential Traffic Management works taking place at Shieldhall Depot (Bogmoor Road) from the 8 until 12 December 2022, the depot will be closed to all residents and customers on the booking system.

This includes large domestic vehicles, commercial traders, housing associations and charities however, will not affect regular vehicles using the Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC).

Please note that customers on the booking system should utilise the Easter Queenslie and Dawsholm Depots during this period.

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.
