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.
- You may only use the permit to dispose of household waste from your domestic household. You must not have received payment for the collection or disposal of that waste.
- Businesses must pay for the collection and disposal of commercial waste. This includes any waste from holiday lets/accommodation. You cannot use a permit to take this waste to a HWRC.
See which vehicles are allowed at the HWRC and whether your vehicle needs a permit.
