Are you using a vehicle other than a car?

Recycling site permits page for more information and to find out how to apply.
Revive Leeds Re-use shop
The purpose built Revive Leeds Re-use shop is also situated at this site, and has its own car park. Pedestrian access is via the gate from Evanston Avenue.
The re-use shop is the second to be developed in Leeds and is run by Revive Leeds, a community interest group made up of two local charities: SLATE and SVP. Any re-usable items such as furniture, working electrical items, clothing, bikes, toys, books, cds, bric-a-brac and other household items can be donated direct to the new Revive Leeds re-use shop, where donations can be sold at low prices and enjoyed by someone else.

Business waste
We operate a waste transfer station (weighbridge) to sort business waste for recycling at Kirkstall. Find information and charges on our
waste transfer stations page.
Asbestos
This site accepts small amounts of asbestos from householders. See the
asbestos disposal guidance for householders for information about how it should be packaged and the process for booking it in. It is accepted by appointment only.
