Register to use household waste recycling centres

We introduced a free registration scheme for our household waste recycling centres on Monday 27 April 2026.

Visit our register to use household waste recycling centres page to find out more and register online.

Animals (dead)

Dead animals cannot be accepted at any of our household waste recycling centres.

You are generally allowed to bury your pet in your garden. You should not bury animals too close to the house or near a water supply. Pet crematoriums are also available to use:

  • Harrogate pet crematorium
