Household Waste Recycling Centres
The sites that most of us know as 'The Tip' or 'The Dump' are Household Waste Recycling Centres operated by Kent County Council (KCC).

Recycling sites for paper, glass and textiles
We provide more than 40 recycling sites. They are open all year round, but we ask you not to use them before 8am or after 8pm as many are close to homes.
At these sites you can recycle:
- Glass bottles and jars - please leave the metal caps and lids on
- Newspapers, magazines, catalogues, directories, books, and other clean paper
- Clothing, textiles, shoes, books and CDs, DVDs and Blu-Ray disks that still play
