Mobile Household Waste Centres

During industrial action we are not accepting waste from vans, whether they are residents or not.

Our 2 Mobile Household Waste Centres (MHWCs) visit all areas of the city. They visit each location for one morning – from 7:30am to 1:00pm. This means they visit 10 different places in the city each week.

You can dispose of household general waste and bulky items at our MHWCs.

There are staff on site to help you at each MHWC.

During this period of industrial action by Unite, we will no longer be accepting waste from vans at our Mobile HWCs.  There has been an increase in the number of vans asking to dispose of large volumes of waste, and we need to prioritise this service for residents.   

If van owners wish to dispose of large amounts of waste, they can book a slot at one of our 5 Household Recycling Centres.

This service is not for commercial use. We have a commercial waste service for businesses.

Visiting an MHWC

You:

  • can visit as many times as you like
  • do not need to book
  • do not need to bring ID
  • do not need to pay

Find out if your area is receiving a visit. This page is updated regularly with visits that will happen in the coming weeks.

Planned locations may change slightly to ensure safe parking on the day.

If your area is not receiving an MHWC visit soon, remember you can book a slot at one of our Household Recycling Centres or book a bulky waste collection.
