Hazardous waste
Disposing of waste considered dangerous or harmful to the environment.
Small amounts of hazardous waste such as vehicle batteries, car oil and asbestos, can be disposed of at Newtown Road Recycling Centre, Newbury.
You can view a full list of what you can recycle at our recycling centres here.
We cannot accept petrol or diesel at either of our recycling centres.
Further information on the disposal of hazardous waste can be found on the GOV.UK website.
Recycling household batteries
We now collect the following household batteries from the kerbside: D, C, AA, AAA, AAAA (1.5-volt), A23 (12-volt), PP3 (9-volt), CR2032 (3-volt), and LR44 (1.5-volt).
Put your used batteries in a see-through bag and place them sealed on top of your black wheelie bin ready to be collected on your relevant collection day. Our new waste collection vehicles have special compartments designed just for these batteries, ensuring they're safely recycled. (NiMH battery terminals should be taped over because they may not be fully discharged.)
