Calderdale residents can use HWRCs to deposit items that do not fit in the domestic wheelie bin or bin liners. Important note: You must bring and show some identification that proves you are a resident.
There are separate skips for cardboard, scrap metal, timber, electrical items, green waste and more. Sort your waste before you visit and put it in the right skip. By doing this, you help to make sure that the most is recycled or recovered as possible.
There is a height barrier that restricts vehicles over 5 feet 11 inch (1.8 metres) from entering. Please note: Unless you have a permit, vehicles above this height will be turned away
Note: We operate a commercial vehicle permit scheme. If you use a van, pick-up or vehicle with large trailer, you must have a permit to use our sites.

Re-use shop: "Revive"
We have a shop at Brighouse HWRC for the resale of good quality unwanted items. These can be donated at all household waste recycling centres:
Items we can reuse:
- Furniture, homeware, clothing, bric-a-brac, sports equipment, tools and garden equipment.
- Stuffed furniture, such as sofas, mattresses, armchairs and cushions. These must have fire labels attached, dated from 1988 or later, whether indoor or outdoor furniture.
- Children's toys that display the CE mark on the toy or its packaging. It must show the manufacturer declares their product complies with European health, safety and environmental legislation.
Items we cannot re-use:
- Due to issues with PAT testing and legal responsibilities around this, no electrical items can be sold. These should be put in the skip for electricals at the HWRC. Small electrical items like hairdryers, toasters and kettles can be recycled. Put these in your black box and they can be collected with your other recycling.
- Safety equipment such as bike helmets, children's car seats, life jackets cannot be sold from Revive.
Every item for sale would have gone to waste via one of Calderdale's Household Waste Recycling Centres. This means that each item bought contributes to a greener Calderdale.
All items will be checked to make sure they are fit for purpose.
Shop opening times and days
- Open: Tuesday to Saturday only, at the same time as the HWRC.
- Closed: 30 minutes before the HWRC closes, to cash up and shut the till down.
Note: Pedestrians are not allowed on site to gain access to the re-use shop. You must park in the designated car park for the shop.
