Cyclist access at Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs)

Cyclists can book an appointment at any Hampshire HWRC.

Site rules and regulations

In addition to site regulations and waste acceptance restrictions, the following applies to cyclists:

• Cyclists will be treated the same as vehicles. Cyclists must join the vehicle queue and wait to be admitted by a member of staff. Attempting to jump the vehicle queue will not be tolerated and may result in your access being refused.
• Park your bicycle in a marked parking bay as directed by site staff.
• Be aware of other vehicles when moving around the site.
• Cyclists may only visit the recycling centre once during the booked time slot.
• All residents must comply with the Highway Code when visiting the recycling centre.
• We recommend that you wear high visibility clothing when manoeuvring around the site on your bicycle.
• Hampshire County Council will not admit residents who cycle to the recycling centre during pedestrian access hours and walk waste in to avoid the booking system.
• Hampshire County Council reserves the right to review cyclist access at any time and make changes to this arrangement on the grounds of safety, fair access and resident feedback.

All vehicle and permit restrictions remain in place. You must check which restrictions apply to your vehicle.
