Book your tip slot
A booking system trial is in place at 7 of our busiest sites: Newquay, Saltash, St Erth, Bude, Launceston, St Austell and Bodmin (Lanivet) HWRCs.
Why a booking system
Our aim is to:
- manage visitor numbers better
- reduce queues and traffic issues at busy times, and
- improve safety for staff and visitors
Making a booking
Visits to Newquay, Saltash, St Erth, Bude, Launceston, St Austell and Bodmin (Lanivet) recycling centres are now by appointment only.
You can book a 30-minute slot for the same day, depending on availability, or up to a week ahead. You can also book more than one slot in the same day.
When you book you will need to tell us:
- your name,
- email address and
- vehicle registration number
You can book for a vehicle with a foreign registration number. Make sure you use the same vehicle on the day to do your tip run.
Only slots that are still available appear in the booking form. For more choice on slots, book ahead as much you can.
Before you book
Please make sure you:
- Use the household collection service to dispose of as much of your waste as possible rather than driving it to a waste and recycling centre. Using the collection service is easier than loading up your vehicle and driving to a recycling centre. It’s also better for our environment. Check the items and materials you can recycle and dispose of using the collection service.
- Check the visiting a HWRC page to make sure we accept the types of waste and recycling you want to take to the tip.
- Check your items are household waste. We don’t take commercial or trade waste at the household recycling centres. See our Commercial Waste Service page for more information.
