We are responsible for disposing of all household rubbish, and some waste from businesses, collected by district and borough councils in Derbyshire. And for providing nine Household Waste Recycling Centres. Waste collected in Derby is managed by Derby City Council (opens in a new window).  

Household Waste Recycling Centres

Our household waste recycling centres are for items of waste from households which may be too large or bulky to be taken by your normal kerbside waste collection.

Information is provided on their locations and what items are accepted or not accepted.

All our centres are open from 8.30am until 6pm everyday except Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day.

Local waste and recycling services

Your kerbside collections and local recycling banks are provided by your district or borough council. For more information about these please contact your local council or find details of your kerbside collections and nearest recycling point at www.recyclenow.com (opens in a new window).
