Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs)

The network of Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) in Greater Manchester are here for  you to take both large and small items to be recycled for example, garden waste, wood, metal, soil and rubble, white goods such as washing machines and fridges – you can also take your small items like newspapers and magazines, glass bottles and jars and food and drink cans.

At each of the HWRCs there are a number of containers for a variety of materials. You will be asked to separate the items you bring and place them into the different recycling containers so that materials can be recycled.

There has been a vast amount of re-development work happening at the Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs). We are changing residents' perceptions of recycling and dispelling myths about what happens to Greater Manchester's waste.  We are widely promoting the benefits of using the HWRCs. To find out what is happening in your area please visit our Services and Facilities page.
