Have you registered for free access to Hampshire Household Waste Recycling Centres?

Hampshire residents are being asked to register their vehicles for continued automatic free access to Hampshire Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs).

A new resident permit system will begin operating later in 2020. It will be controlled by Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) and will ensure continued free access for Hampshire residents to any of Hampshire’s 24 HWRCs to dispose of household waste, while access for non-Hampshire residents will be for a fee of £5 per visit. Charges for non-household waste, including soil and rubble, plasterboard and asbestos remain.

Hampshire residents can register up to three vehicles via the Hampshire County Council website. The system will quickly check the registration of the cars coming into the site against the number plates that have been registered so that Hampshire residents can freely enter the sites as many times as they wish, without any further checks.

Hampshire residents, including those who live in Southampton and Portsmouth, are being asked to register for free access to any Hampshire HWRC at www.hants.gov.uk/vehicle-registration-hwrc
