We have had to close our Household Waste Recycling Centre on Melandra Road, Glossop for an indefinite period for vital repairs to a weak bridge on the access road which is owned by United Utilities.
Please do not leave waste at the depot entrance as this will be classed as fly tipping which is an offence.
Our Household Waste Recycling Centre in Buxton is open and will accept all materials you usually take to Glossop.

Paper, glass, cans, textiles and plastic packaging can be taken to High Peak Borough Council’s recycling centres at the Co-op, Tesco or Pennine Road recycling centres in Glossop.
You can also find a list of other places to recycle in the area on the High Peak Borough Council (opens in a new window) website.
If you are buying new electrical equipment you should ask the retailer if it offers a take-back scheme for the equipment being replaced.
High Peak Borough Council (opens in a new window) offers chargeable collections of electrical and household bulky waste. You can contact them on 0845 129 77 77 or visit their website.
We are working closely with High Peak Borough Council to make additional arrangements. Each Saturday from the 6 February a vehicle will be provided at the council depot on Surrey Street between 8am and 11am to dispose of large and small electrical items plus other items unsuitable for a household bin.
We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by the closure of this site, please keep an eye on this website and the local press for updates in the next few weeks.
