How we keep you safe

Northumberland County Council wants our residents' visits to the Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) to be a positive experience.

View our Customer Charter (PDF) for guidance.

General guidelines

Bring your household waste to the HWRCs in loads they can comfortably manage to carry themselves. At some HWRCs this may mean you have to use steps to access containers. 

Children under 16 and pets must stay in the car.

Bring someone with you if you need help with bulky or heavier items. The operators at the HWRCs will assist members of the public with their waste on request or if they have a disability, however, they cannot be held responsible for any damage to residents' vehicles when doing so and will not be able to assist with items that may put them at risk of personal injury. 

Northumberland County Council provides a chargeable bulky collection service for heavier household items of furniture.
