You can visit our two Charity re-use shops at Foxhall and Bury St Edmunds Recycling Centres without an appointment. They are open 7 days a week and accept direct donations.
You can make multiple bookings per week to bring household waste to a recycling centre.
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.
Before you book, check if there are items you can recycle at home.
Highway Works – Leiston Recycling Centre: Lovers Lane (24 - 31 March 2026)
Highway works will be taking place on Lovers Lane between 24 - 31 March 2026 as part of the Sizewell C project. During this period, three‑way traffic lights will be in operation to manage vehicle access to and from the recycling centre.
On arrival at the recycling centre, a site marshal will signal you to enter, providing its safe to do so. If the site is busy, you may be asked to continue on Lovers Lane and return a few minutes later.
Please note that you may not be admitted at your exact booking time due to traffic management arrangements. Please avoid this period if you can and instead book your visit for after 17 March.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation while these essential works are carried out.
