If you are unable to book online you can call 01454 868000 or visit a One Stop Shops.
Things to note before booking
If you are coming in a restricted vehicle you will need to apply for a permit before you can book a time slot.
It is not possible to book online for visits on foot or by bicycle. You will need to email NonVehicleEntry@southglos.gov.uk.
You do not need to book if you are only visiting to buy something from the Revive: reuse shop at the Thornbury site.
You can change or cancel your booking using the links in your confirmation email. Please cancel as soon as you can to free up the slot for someone else.
Our recycling centres can only be used for the domestic waste of South Gloucestershire residents.
Some items are not accepted at all our centres. Check what you can and cannot take to each location.
