Our recycling centres (tidy tips) are very busy, and we may need to close them at short notice to clear built-up waste. We will update this message with any temporary closures as soon as possible, but there may be delays. Please check back regularly for the latest information.

Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC) booking system – coming soon
We are introducing a booking system to use the four Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs). Residents will need to book a time to access the centres.
The booking system will help:
- ensure the sites are for Central Bedfordshire residents only
- reduce queues and waiting times
- provide staff assistance on-site
- boost recycling efforts, with staff available to help customers reuse and recycle more.
- control commercial waste disposal
More details about how to book and the start date will be announced soon.
