We have two recycling centres in West Berkshire, located in Newbury and Padworth.
Our centres now operate a Recycling Centre Permit Scheme.
This means that only residents that display a permit will be allowed to take their waste to these centres.
Permits have been sent to all West Berks residents.
If you've lost yours, not received one, or have recently moved to the area, you can Apply for a Permit to Use Our Recycling Centres online.
There is now a charge to dispose of soil, rubble, ceramics, plasterboard and tyres at Newtown Road and Padworth recycling centres. Information on non-household waste charges at recycling centres.
