Household waste recycling centres
Opening times and locations
The sites are usually only closed:
- 25 and 26 December
- 1 and 2 January.
Open as normal on all other dates.
Opening hours
Last entry for all vehicles is 30 minutes before closing time. This is to give you enough time to empty your vehicle and correctly recycle your waste before the site closes.
- Stobhill Recycling Centre is open 7 days, 9:30am - 4:15pm
- Penicuik Recycling Centre is open 7 days, 10am - 4:15pm.
The site will be closed at no notice within these times to let us service the skips. We have to do this in opening hours because of the potential noise impact on local homes.
On arrival, tell the staff what type of waste you have brought. They will direct you to the appropriate zone where you can off load your waste.
We only accept waste from Midlothian households
So we may ask for proof of residence, such as:
- driving licence
- council tax or utility bill.
