HWRC Operational Update

Due to a national issue affecting fridge and freezer recycling, we’re temporarily unable to accept fridges and freezers at Cornwall’s Household Waste and Recycling Centres.

We apologise for the inconvenience and are working with our partners to resume the service as soon as possible.

Please do not bring fridges or freezers to site until further notice.

We will provide updates as soon as more information becomes available.
