Local waste information for Croydon

Taking waste to the tip in Croydon

Croydon’s recycling sites are for Croydon residents, who need a permit or ID to bring a vehicle in and separate proof of identity and address. Cars are accepted at all sites with a limit of 6 bags of rubble, cars towing trailers are not accepted anywhere, and pick-ups over 5m long are not accepted. Vans are accepted only at Factory Lane, on Tuesday and Wednesday from 11am to 1pm, up to 5m long and 2.6m high, and Luton vans and tippers are not accepted. Vans are not eligible for permits. Trade waste is not accepted. See the council’s vehicle rules. Checked against the council’s own page on 24 October 2026. Rules change, so confirm on the official page before you travel.

Why many people book a carrier instead

With vans restricted to two hours a week at one site and no trailers, many people find a carrier easier. Many council sites limit or charge for DIY and building waste, and a small car means several dirty, heavy trips. A registered carrier loads it all in one visit. See rubbish removal, house clearance and grab hire.
