Where are the nearest recycling centres in Battersea

The most economical waste management solution for most residents is to visit one of the available civic amenity sites within the local authority area. From Battersea it takes just 6 minutes to drive to the nearest council operated facility on Smugglers Way SW18 1JS which accepts all types of waste except for liquids, commercial and hazardous waste. This site accommodates all residents from boroughs belonging to the Western Riverside Waste Authority (WRWA) and has dedicated entrances for those arriving in cars, vans, bicycles and on foot. There is an alternative facility located at Cringle St, Nine Elms that is open 24/7, however only those arriving in vans will be permitted to tip. It is best to check the facility website before visiting to view live webcam footage showing traffic at the sight, so that you can gauge the wait time before being able to unload and dispose of waste. Additionally, residents could head to nearby recycling centres along Lavender Hill and Falcon Road to dispose of batteries, household linens, clothing, and plastic packaging.
