N.B. If the site is closed during its advertised opening hours, it is most likely to be due to the servicing of a full container, which should take no longer than 20 minutes.

Van Permitting Scheme

If you are a site user who wishes to dispose of your household waste at the Household Waste and Recycling Centre using a van, pickup truck, commercial type vehicle or vehicle and trailer combination, you will need to apply for a van and trailer permit from Herts County Council.
