Our Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) are for North Ayrshire’s residents to dispose of household waste.
Please only take your waste to your nearest Household Waste Recycling Centre.
You must bring proof of North Ayrshire residency with you, otherwise we will be unable to allow you to enter the site.
This can be one of the following:
- a driving licence
- a Council Tax bill
- a utility bill
These identification documents must be displayed and clearly visible on the car dashboard.
Please refer to the relevant section below to find out the arrangements in place for your nearest HWRC.
Please note:
- If queuing outside the sites, please stay in your vehicle and switch off your engine to protect public health and the environment.
- Don't bring items that are too big or heavy to handle yourself, our site attendants won't be able to help you unload your car and dispose of your waste
- No pedestrian access is allowed to HWRC sites
Our Tip Permit Scheme is available to householders allowing up to 12 visits to our HWRCs within 12 months.
Before your visit check what can be recycled at each site.
