Aldershot Recycling Centre & Tip: Location, Hours and What You Can Recycle
Need to dispose of household waste? Here's everything you need to know about Aldershot's recycling centre.
Aldershot has a dedicated household waste recycling centre operated by Hampshire County Council. If you've got items that won't fit in the bin — garden waste, bulky furniture, electrical items, mixed recycling — this is where to bring them.
Location
The recycling centre is located on Ivy Road, Aldershot, GU12 4UA. It's genuinely in Aldershot, not on the outskirts — you can reach it from the town centre in minutes by car.
What to Bring
Recycling centres accept:
- Garden waste
- Bulky household items (furniture, mattresses, carpets)
- Electrical goods
- Scrap metal
- Mixed recyclables (paper, cardboard, plastics, glass)
- Wood
- Rubble and construction waste
Not everything is accepted — hazardous materials like paint, batteries, and oils require separate handling. Check the Hampshire County Council website for a full list before you go.
Why It Matters
A local recycling centre means you don't have to drive to neighbouring towns or leave items piling up at home. It's a straightforward piece of infrastructure that every householder should know about.
Before You Go
Opening hours vary by season, so it's worth checking Hampshire County Council's website for the current schedule. Bring items sorted, be ready to unload them yourself (staff won't do it for you), and give yourself 15-20 minutes. On weekends, it can get busy.
