Hazardous waste

Middlesbrough is getting more support to tackle the spike in coronavirus cases. Find out more about the extra support.

We're suspending green waste collections from Tuesday 27 July until Tuesday 31 August due to staff shortages. You can book an appointment to take your green waste to the Household Waste Recycling Centre if it needs to be collected before then.

Hazardous waste can't be disposed of through regular household or business waste collections. For advice and information about the safe disposal of hazardous waste, please contact the Environment Contact Centre on 01642 726001.
