You now need to register if you want to use the Sort It recycling centres. This has been introduced to cut the number of commercial users and those from outside South Glos using the sites.

You don’t need to sign up straight away, but must do so at least 24 hours before your next visit. You can sign up at any time of year and you only need to do it once, unless you change your address or vehicle. You can register online, by calling 01454 868000 or at the One Stop Shops.

There are two types of registration:

• Standard vehicle registration for vehicles of any size (up to 3.5 tonnes) that have rear and/or side facing windows including cars of any size, campervans, people carriers etc.
• Restricted vehicle registration for:
  • vans of any size without rear facing windows including minibuses, campervans and cars
  • 4×4s, pick-up trucks or people carriers (MPV) without rear seats and/or windows or with an open back
  • flatbed vehicles, box vans, horse boxes with integrated cab and agricultural vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes.

Restricted vehicles are limited to 12 visits a year. Access times for large vehicles will continue to apply. The height and trailer restrictions at Little Stoke Sort It Recycling Centre will also remain in place.
