This recycling centre is the closest to the high street and is one of two recycling sites in the Cheltenham area. It allows for disposal of both recyclable and household waste. Vans are not permitted.

Site staff are available to offer assistance if you are bringing heavy or awkward-sized items. Residents should prepare waste prior to their visit to Swindon Road, and be aware of what is allowed at the recycling site. The recycling centre can be contacted by phone, Monday – Friday (09:00 – 17:00).

Many items brought to Gloucestershire’s recycling and refuse points can often be re-used or recovered. Please consider alternative methods of recycling such as Freecycle or donating to local charities such as Furniture Recycling Project, Emmaus, Reclaim and British Heart Foundation.
