We are changing the way we collect your rubbish
Recycling Bring Sites & Household Waste Recycling Centres
If you are not currently part of the recycling collection service or you have surplus recyclable materials, you can take them to your most convenient Recycling Bring Site or Household Waste Recycling Centre.
Bring Sites are typically located in store car parks and at other convenient points across the borough. They consist of a small number of banks for different materials such as cans and bottles.
- Opening Hours: They are usually accessible 24/7
Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) are purpose built Bring Sites which are managed and staffed by Greater Manchester Waste Ltd., and take a much wider range of recyclable materials, such as green garden waste, than a normal Bring Site. They will also accept most bulky household items. Staff will be happy to advise you on recycling and on how to dispose of your waste items safely. You can also call Bolton Community Transport on 01204 364777 who will collect your old but useable household (white) goods for free and give them a new home and lease of life.
- Opening Hours: 8.00 am - 6.00 pm Winter 8.00am - 8.00 pm Summer. Open every day except Christmas Day and New Year's Day
