Change to household waste recycling centre vehicle restrictions

A decision was agreed at the full Council meeting of The Highland Council today (12th March 2020) to make a minor amendment to the newly introduced Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC) vehicle restrictions policy. 

The vehicle restrictions which were introduced at the beginning of February 2020 will  be amended with immediate effect to allow householders with oversize trailers access to HWRC to dispose of their household garden waste, electrical appliances and furniture only. 

Vehicles with a gross vehicle weight of 3.5 tonnes or greater; tippers and flat-bed trucks of any weight and plant vehicles are still not permitted at HWRC.  Construction and demolition waste restrictions will still apply.
