Book to visit a recycling centre

If you are visiting any of our recycling centres, you now need to book your visit in advance. You can do this using our online booking system.

How to book

The quickest and easiest way to book a visit to a recycling centre is online. You can use our online booking system on this page or by using the North Somerset Council app.

A booking can be made on behalf of another resident, such as an elderly relative or someone without access to the internet. 

People without internet can book using an automated phone line.

Why we have introduced a booking system

The system has been introduced to make visits faster, safer and more efficient.

It:

• makes visits easier
• ensures the sites are working efficiently
• reduces queues
• cuts carbon emissions from idling vehicles
• reduces unauthorised use by people from outside the area
• manages commercial and DIY waste correctly
• helps to manage sites safely during periods of repairs
• simplifies vehicle permits for those who need them

This follows on from neighbouring authorities, who all have successful booking systems in place.

You can find answers to your questions about our new recycling centre booking system in our frequently asked questions document.

The North Somerset Council app is free to download on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. If you already have the app downloaded on your phone, go to the Store to update it to the newest version.
