Booking a slot is now mandatory. A 15 minute slot for cars or 30 minutes for a larger vehicle such as a minibus, van, horsebox, or a vehicle with a trailer, will be allocated to you. You must arrive as near to your allocated time as possible.
If you arrive without first booking, you will be asked to make a booking before being allowed entry to the site. Same day bookings are usually available, although same day weekend bookings cannot be made by phone.
Towcester waste and recycling centre is now open 7 days a week, 10am – 4pm, except Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. On Christmas Eve, the site will close at 2pm.
