St Neots recycling centre direction sign.

St Neots recycling centre, Marston Road, St Neots, PE19 2HB.

These are our nearest recycling centres:

  • Croydon
  • Gamlingay
  • St Neots (pictured right and above)

There are also these – but because Hatley is in Cambridgeshire, these sites, outside the remit of the County Council, may not accept your rubbish.

  • Biggleswade
  • Royston – not open Thursday and Friday

South Cambs District Council has a list of recycling centres (debatable of how up-to-date it is) and other information on recycling.
