There are ten Household Waste Recycling Centres in the county which provide a service for the public to bring household waste, garden waste, recyclables and other items such as unwanted furniture and white goods for disposal, reuse and recycling.
Currently the sites are managed by HW Martins on behalf of Northamptonshire County Council. In April 2010 however, waste management company EMS will take over.
Some changes to how the sites are operated, including changes to open times, will be introduced from April. Details of these changes will be published on this website in due time.
Current Opening Hours
- 8:30am - 17:00pm seven days a week including Bank holidays.

The site operators are responsible for health and safety at the centre sites:
- Please follow any instructions given.
- Please keep children and animals in your vehicle while at the centre.

It may be necessary on certain occasions, for example when there are severe weather conditions, to close the sites for a limited time to protect the health and safety of staff and visitors.
