How to book a time slot

You need to book a time slot to visit a Recycling Centre.

Before you book

  • You can make multiple bookings per week to bring your own household waste
  • Business or trade customers/vehicles are restricted to two appointments within a 7 day period. We reserve the right to cancel any multiple bookings made in a 7 day period.

You'll need to read and agree to the terms and conditions published on the booking form before you book.

Please note! We are currently unable to recycle rigid plastics as we have no suitable recycling solutions for this material. Please place rigid plastic in the non-recyclable container. This will be used as fuel at Suffolk’s energy from waste facility to generate electricity. 

You can also cancel or amend an existing booking.

Email confirmation

Check your spam/junk folder if you do not receive a booking confirmation email within 1 hour.

If you've not received a confirmation email, do not make another booking. Email waste.management@suffolk.gov.uk and we'll check it for you.

The booking system

  • reduces the waiting times of visitors to each Recycling Centre
  • helps manage traffic to avoid a dangerous build-up of vehicles on the roads
  • allows site users to plan ahead and visit at an agreed time without having to queue.
