Recycling Centres and Recycling Permits

If you have a trade waste collection contract with us we will provide you with a Recycling Permit to allow you to bring separated materials for recycling to our Recycling Centres.

If you do not have a contract with us for our collection service you may purchase an annual Recycling Permit - to apply email wasteservices@eastlothian.gov.uk.

You must present your Recycling Permit to the Recycling Centre Attendant before you deposit material at the site.
