Before you apply
Before you apply for a household waste and recycling centre (HWRC) vehicle permit please note:
- Your existing permit remains valid until all 12 visits have been used.
- If you have used all 12 visits and held a permit before, for a different vehicle, and you still have your previous permit number, please select the option to change vehicle/address.
- If you have held a permit before but have lost the permit, please select the lost permit option. You do not need the permit number to complete this form.
- Incorrect vehicle registration numbers will result in an invalid permit and you will be refused access to the HWRC. Please ensure you provide the correct registration number.
- Some of our HWRCs now accept commercial waste. You do not need an HWRC vehicle permit to dispose of commercial waste at these sites. Find out more about commercial waste.
See which vehicles are allowed at the HWRC and whether your vehicle needs a permit.
