Cheltenham's household recycling centre at Swindon Road

Prolonged closure of Swindon Road household recycling centre is now in place

Tighter regulations force review of the household recycling centre

Changing legislation and enhanced kerbside collection services have prompted a review of Cheltenham’s waste and recycling services. Cabinet members met on 26 November to discuss the future of the household recycling centre (HRC), which included agreeing a prolonged closure to the public whilst a full review of options takes place.

The last day that the site was open to the public before the prolonged closure was 10 January 2025.
