List of recycling bank locations
To complement recycling collections from home, there are a number of recycling bank locations across Cheltenham for recycling a greater variety of materials.
For more information about what can be put into the banks, please see our recycling bank information page. We are now accepting mixed plastic at a number of the locations listed below - items such as yoghurt pots, margarine tubs, ice cream tubs, ready-meal trays and plastic fruit punnets as well as a whole range of plastic bottles. Please note plastic bags, plastic film and bubble wrap are not accepted.
Please remember to wash and squash any plastic bottles and rinse out your tins, cans and tubs!
See the list of recycling banks below.

Recycling centre prolonged closure
Our household recycling centre with be closed for an extended period from 10 January 2025. The closure will allow us to carry out a review of Cheltenham’s waste and recycling service. The review has been prompted by changing legislation and enhanced kerbside collection services. Find out more about the closure.
Recycling bring banks
There are multiple sites across the town that allow you to recycle your items. If the banks are full please do not leave any waste, instead we ask that you use one of the other sites available or alternatively use the kerbside collection service where possible.
If you notice any fly-tipping then please visit the fly-tipping page for more information.
