Household Recycling Centres - Tyres, Mattress and Asbestos Booking Information
From April 2023, Tyres will require a booking to be accepted at the Household Recycling Centre
Household Recycling Centre Booking System
To dispose of tyres, mattresses or asbestos at any of the Council Household Recycling Centres (HRC) you will be required to make a booking in advance.
Tyres
Tyre bookings are being introduced at HRC to maintain skip capacity across all sites and prevent abuse by commercial companies and non-Flintshire residents.
We will not accept Commercial, Agricultural or Plant tyres.
Bookings are being introduced to discourage traders and businesses from using the Household Recycling Centres (HRC) which are strictly for Flintshire residents only. Booking also allows available capacity in the containers at our HRC to save wasted journeys
Tyres are being limited to manage quantities and types of tyres being brought to sites. Most residents will use a garage to replace their car tyres; worn tyres then become the responsibility of the garage to dispose of correctly.
We accept domestic vehicle tyres, motor bike and cycle tyres.
We do not accept non -domestic tyres e.g, Commercial, Agricultural, or Plant tyres.
If you have more than the annual allowance of 4 tyres, you can either approach a garage who may accept them, wait until 12 months have passed to book online, or use a local waste contractor to legally dispose of them. All e-form bookings are recorded against your address and vehicle.
Yes - unless you are using a van, trailer or pick up to carry the tyres, in which case a permit is required which is site specific.

Flintshire County Council strongly advise residents to use a specialised contractor to safely remove and collect Asbestos for disposal if discovered on their premises
Limited quantities can be accepted at Buckley or Greenfield Household Recycling Centres if contained and sealed in a heavy duty red asbestos bag and an outer clear bag. The asbestos sacks are supplied from Flintshire Connects. You will need your reference number from Connects to allow the booking e-form to be submitted.
Please note - only one booking is available in 12 months, which is recorded when bookings are made.
Asbestos will NOT BE ACCEPTED if contained in any other wrappings, or if more than the stated quantity is brought to site. Asbestos cannot be bagged at the HRC.
WARNING:Asbestos must never be broken up, cut, sanded or drilled, as this releases highly irritant airborne fibres which are hazardous if inhaled.
Standard dust masks will not protect you from Asbestos fibres.

* Disclaimer *
The issue of heavy duty bags to contain Asbestos does not infer or condone the breaking up of larger sheets to fit into the bags, which are available for small quantities.
Handling, transporting and unloading of Asbestos is at the individuals own risk.
