Other Refuse and Recycling Topics

The Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs - commonly called 'the tip') in the borough are owned and run by Kent County Council and allow you to dispose of household waste items for recycling. 

To visit one of the HWRCs you must book a slot in advance. 

There are certain restrictions on vehicles  and what types of waste  can be disposed off at the HWRCs.

From 1 April 2023, non-Kent residents (which includes those who live in Medway) will be required to pay £10 per visit to use one of the 19 Kent County Council's HWRCs.
