Where are the nearest recycling centres in West London

The borough council reuse and recycling centres/tips are the most economical rubbish removal option for west Londoners, however it should be noted that visiting the sites requires residents to be fully compliant with the policies and procedures at the various council operated facilities, and load and transport rubbish to the sites independently. Some reuse and recycling centre staff might be able to offer assistance to residents unloading their vehicles, however it is best to make sure you can safely lift and carry rubbish yourself as there is no guarantee that staff will be available on the day to assist with manual handling of refuse. For residents in Harrow their nearest council operated tip is in HA3, while Hillingdon residents can use the civic amenity in Harefield, and the Weekend Waste facility in west Drayton. Ealing council provides a list of neighbourhood recycling sites throughout the borough by area and subcategory, and Brent council lists all 33 recycling sites in the borough on their website. Richmond council provide a list of community reuse and recycling schemes in the borough, and Hounslow council have detailed guides on their website as part of their strategy for a ‘Cleaner Greener Hounslow’ so that residents know exactly what to do with recyclable and residual waste materials. There is also a large privately owned recycling and recovery facility in Hayes, which is used by residents, local councils and businesses.
