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.

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.
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.
