Household recycling centres

There are three tips, also known as household recycling centres (HRC) in Huntingdonshire. They are run by Thalia for Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC).

You do not need to book to visit any of the HRCs.

All sites are open every day except Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. They are free of charge to use, but do not accept waste from businesses.

What can be recycled at the household recycling centres?

E-permit scheme

You will need an e-permit to dispose of household waste at the HRCs if you are using commercial-type vehicle/van or any trailer in excess of 1.5m length (excluding the towing mechanism) or 570 litre capacity.

You can find further information about the scheme and details of how to apply on Cambridgeshire County Council's website.

If you have any queries about the e-permit scheme please email the Waste Management Team.

Recycling points

There are a number of recycling points across the district where you can recycle things such as soft plastics, clothes, electricals, batteries and more. Have a look on the Recycling Points page to see what you can recycle and where.

Textile recycling banks

We work with ASTCO to provide textile recycling banks in Huntingdonshire. All materials collected from the clothing banks are re-used, with textiles providing reusable clothing for the UK and developing countries. This helps reduce waste from going into landfill. To report a full or damaged bank, please call ASTCO on 01507 466159. The recycling banks can accept clothing and textiles such as sheets, pillowcases and blankets.
