Are you frustrated by the need to pre-book appointments just to visit Horsley Tip or other local recycling centres? So are we! This system is causing unnecessary delays, underutilisation of the facilities, and discouraging responsible waste disposal. It’s time to change that!

We need your support to remove this inconvenient booking requirement that’s creating more problems than it solves.

Here’s why we’re calling for change:
Missed Appointments = Wasted Slots
People book appointments and don’t show up, leaving the facility underused while others are forced to wait or hold onto waste for longer than necessary.
Spontaneity Matters!
Not everyone can plan when they need to dispose of waste. Emergencies happen – from sudden clear-outs to home repairs – and requiring pre-booking limits our ability to deal with waste responsibly and efficiently.
Barriers to Recycling
Having to pre-book puts an unnecessary barrier in place, especially for those who aren’t tech-savvy or don’t have easy access to the internet. This system is making it harder for many residents to do the right thing.
Encouraging Fly-Tipping
The hassle of pre-booking has already led to an increase in fly-tipping and illegal dumping. Making waste disposal easier and more accessible will help reduce this problem.
Everyone Deserves Easy Access
Not everyone uses online booking systems easily, and this policy unfairly impacts elderly residents and those who may struggle with technology. We need to make sure everyone can use these essential services without barriers.
What are we asking for?
We are calling on local authorities to end the mandatory booking system for recycling centres like Horsley Tip. Instead, we want a system that allows easy, spontaneous visits to dispose of waste and recycle responsibly.
