Dorset: Introduction of new booking system at local recycling centres

 


A brand-new booking system is set to be brought in later this year at our Household Recycling Centres (HRCs, or ‘the tip’), which will require users to book a slot before they visit.

Already in use in other counties, the free-to-use booking system will allow residents to pick a time of their choosing to drop off waste and recycling – meaning their visits will be quicker with reduced waiting times.
