Can I recycle?
Building materials are not collected as part of your kerbside collection.
Building materials such as asbestos, plasterboard, rubble can be brought to the following HWRCs only: Bude, Falmouth and Penryn, Newquay, Saltash, St Austell, St Erth (Hayle), Truro and Tintagel. Please note Tintagel does not accept asbestos. A free allowance limit is in place for these waste streams and a charge may apply.
Commercial building materials cannot enter Household Waste Recycling Centres.
If you own a business, you need to arrange a recycling/waste collection through a waste company.
