Sowerby Bridge (Milner Royd) Household Waste Recycling Centre

HWRCs can be used by Calderdale's residents to deposit items that do not fit in the domestic wheelie bin or bin liners.

Separate skips are provided for cardboard, plastic bottles, timber, electrical items, green waste etc. By sorting your waste before you visit and placing materials in the correct skip you are helping to ensure the maximum amount is recovered.

The service is free to use. Please ensure that you have sufficient time to deposit your waste and exit the site before the site closure time.

Note: The Council operates a commercial Vehicle permit scheme . If you use a van, pick-up vehicle or a vehicle with a large trailer, you will need a permit to use our sites.

Re-use shop: "Revive"

There is a re-use / resale shop at the Brighouse (Atlas Mill) HWRC. Suitable items are collected at all HWRCs. For more about this, please see: Revive shop .

Opening hours

Please note: Gates to this site can be closed up to 10 minutes before the closing time. This is to ensure waste is deposited and vehicles have exited by the closing time.
