Household or garden waste can be taken to the reuse and recycling centres at Waldo Road and Churchfields Road. Soil, brick, DIY, rubble and construction waste may be accepted for a fee according to weight.

With both centres experiencing busy periods at weekends and before bank holidays, try to plan your journey to the centre to avoid these peak times. 

You can view our webcam before you leave to check for queues. 

Both sites have several recycling facilities for:

• Paper and card
• Bottles
• Cans
• Car and household batteries
• Fridges and freezers
• Metals
• Textiles
• Oil
• Wellington boots
• Fluorescent light bulbs
• Low-energy light bulbs
• Printer cartridges
• Wood
• Plastic bottles and plastic garden furniture
• Tetra-paks
• Electrical and electronic items, including televisions, stereos, monitors, computers and lap-tops as well as all other types of electrical equipment

There are also additional reuse and recycling sites around the borough.

Asbestos

If you need to dispose of cement-bonded asbestos, there is a container for cement-bonded asbestos at the Waldo Road site (not available at Churchfield Road). Once at the centre, you will need to contact the site staff to arrange for the container to be unlocked before you unload this material. Please note, it will only be accepted if it is put in at least two bags that have been sealed to prevent dust escaping.

Costs

Bromley residents need to bring their reuse and recycling permit when visiting the centre in order to deposit bulky household and garden waste free of charge. If the permit is lost, residents will need to apply for a new permit.

Bromley residents will be charged if they want to dispose of soil, brick, rubble, DIY and construction waste according to the weight. Currently, the minimum charge is £20 and vehicles will need to use the weighbridge for an exact price.  Users not living within the borough will be charged £3 per visit. Trade or commercial waste will be weighed and a charge made according to the weight.

Christmas tree recycling

We provide a free Christmas tree recycling service for all our residents at both sites around the borough.  Please note that Christmas trees must not have soil, pots or decorations attached.

Information for traders

• All commercial waste is subject to a Duty of Care waste transfer note.
• Vehicles using the site (where applicable) must be registered with the Environment Agency and be able to produce a waste carrier registration or certificate number when requested. Information about how to obtain a waste carriers licence is available on the Environment Agency website.
• Traders are now required to wear 'high vis' jackets - fluorescent jackets, hard hats and suitable footwear - when visiting the site.  This is to minimise the risk of injury to traders as they are in closer proximity to mechanised vehicles than the facilities used by residents.  
• The weighbridge is closed between 1pm and 2pm on weekdays and we are unable to accept trade waste during this period.
