Are you using a vehicle other than a car?
If you have a commercial type vehicle, such as a van or a four wheel drive pick-up, or use a trailer to take your household waste to the recycling sites, you will need a separate commercial permit. See our
Recycling site permits page for more information and to find out how to apply.
Revive Leeds Re-use shop
Revive Leeds Re-use shop is also situated at this site. The re-use shop is the first of its kind in Leeds and is run by a community interest group made up of two local charities: SLATE and SVP.
