The centres do not share one weekly schedule
Use the centre-specific schedule rather than assuming that every Somerset recycling centre opens every weekday. The six reviewed household services have different closed days. The table below is generated from their approved service records, not a live opening feed.
The reviewed seasonal hours are valid through 31 March 2027, in Europe/London time. The common holiday note lists closures on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. Temporary closures can occur independently of the weekly schedule; check the official centre page before leaving.
These six centres are a pilot sample, not all Somerset provision. Bath and North East Somerset and North Somerset are separate council areas. This guide makes no claim about their hours, household eligibility or access rules.
Check these separately from the opening time
- Arrival method: Minehead permits marked pedestrian access in the reviewed listing. The other five pilot rules do not permit pedestrian entry. An open gate or an accepted material list does not establish that walking into the site is allowed.
- Vehicle category and permit: An M1 car without a trailer does not need a permit under the reviewed policy. Qualifying vans and eligible single-axle trailers need a valid permit; excluded vehicle categories remain excluded even with a permit.
- Material and receiving route: Check the exact material and service before choosing a time. Household DIY waste has a booked route and shared monthly conditions. General opening hours do not create an appointment or override a material exclusion.
- Bulky or unusual loads: Street asks visitors to contact the centre in advance about bulky or unusual loads. Elsewhere, an unlisted numerical limit or missing routine appointment statement still needs confirmation where it affects your trip.
An opening time is only one part of a viable trip. First confirm that the centre accepts your exact material, then check household eligibility, vehicle or pedestrian access, any required booking and the current official notice. The checker compares those conditions without claiming that the site is open now.
