All four centres are currently open from 8am to 5pm (Monday to Friday), 9am to 5pm (Saturday) and 12pm to 5pm (Sunday).

Disabled access

All our recycling centres have a split-level design, making it easy for people to dispose of waste without having to use steps.

Alexandra Park, Blackstaff Way and Palmerston Road also have lower-level areas for recycling glass, cans, plastic bottles, Tetra Pak and textiles.
