You can recycle many everyday items at home using your blue recycling bin. For anything that cannot go in your household bins, there are local recycling banks and larger Community Recycling Centres (tips) you can use.

Community recycling centres (tips or dumps)

The main community recycling centres (CRCs), sometimes called tips or dumps, in Waverley are managed by Surrey County Council. You can take a wide range of household waste and recycling to these sites, including items that are not accepted in your household bins.

• Find locations, opening times and what you can take on the Surrey County Council website (search “community recycling centre Surrey”).
• Community Recycling Centre serves much of Waverley and accepts a broad range of materials, including bulky waste.
• Check before you travel, as some items require a permit and there may be restrictions for vans and trailers.

Local CRCs include:

• Cranleigh Community Recycling Centre 
• Farnham Community Recycling Centre (Bourne Mill)
• Witley Community Recycling Centre

Visit Surrey County Council’s website for opening times, materials accepted, permits and any charges for DIY waste.

Local recycling banks and sites

As well as your blue bin at home, there are local recycling banks at various car parks and community locations in and around Waverley.

These can accept items such as:

• glass bottles and jars
• paper and cardboard
• cans and aerosols
• textiles and shoes

Facilities vary by site, so always check on‑site signs before you leave your recycling.

What goes where?

• Your blue bin for most household recycling.
• Use local recycling banks for items such as glass, textiles and small electricals (where available).
• Our collection service for items like small electricals, textiles and batteries.
• Use Community Recycling Centres for larger items, DIY waste and materials not accepted at home.

If you are unsure, the Recycling A–Z search tool will tell you exactly which bin or site to use.
