Recycling centres

Important information

We are currently reducing the number of recycling sites in the city.  The information in the following link explains which sites are remaining open and which sites are closing.  The sites are closing gradually over a six week period.

Recycling Site Closure Page

Derby has 27 recycling sites.  We try to put a range of banks at each site, though some suffer a bit of vandalism so they haven't got all the banks.
