What to do if the recycling center is closed
Check opening hours before you go
Most recycling centers are open on weekdays and Saturdays, but may close earlier than regular store hours.
Always read the latest information on the recycling center’s website.
If it’s closed when you arrive
Drive back home or go to another recycling center in the same municipality.
Never leave waste outside – that counts as illegal dumping.
Tips
Search your municipality’s website for alternative recycling centers.
Avoid late visits – some facilities close already in the afternoon.
Arrive well before closing time – many recycling centers stop letting visitors in during the last 30 minutes.
