Household Waste Recycling Centre
Greater Manchester has a network of 24 Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs). New sites are proposed along with modernising current facilities. Residents will benefit directly through significant improvements to the HWRC network. 16 centres will be significantly improved or rebuilt. All HWRCs will have improvements with the benefit of better signage, traffic management, assistance for users and Closed Circuit Television (CCTV).
HWRCs are facilities where householders can bring a wide range of materials to be recycled and disposed. The HWRCs are an additional facility for residents to use along side their kerbside collection service, and local bring sites. Many of these materials may also be collected at kerbside or via other local bring sites.
HWRCs accept a wide range of materials such as;
- glass containers
- plastic bottles
- garden waste
- steel and aluminium cans
- paper and cardboard
- scrap metal
- electronic goods
- clothing
- wood.
