| Busy periods |
| The HWRCs tend to be busier at weekends, particularly during the summer. To avoid long queues, especially at the smaller sites, you should consider visiting during the week or making use of the longer opening hours in summer. |

| Temporary closures |
| The smaller, older sites have limited space, so they have to be temporarily closed for health and safety reasons whilst lorries are changing the bins. This usually takes no more than about 20 minutes. Site staff may also temporarily close individual bins, so that the contents can be packed down to fit more items in. |

| |
| Sales areas |
| Site staff are encouraged to recycle or reuse as much waste as possible. They are permitted to sell on any suitable objects, and are incentivised to do so to generate additional income. Certain items are banned from direct sale to the public by Trading Standards, including untested electrical items, children’s car seats, and bicycle helmets. |

| Pro-Grow |
| All green waste collected is taken to one of three composting sites in Hampshire, and turned into Pro-Grow – high quality soil and lawn conditioners, woodchip mulch or pine bark. This can be bought at every HWRC. |
