Site rules for Sevenoaks recycling centre
Each slot is 30 minutes. To enter the site, you'll need to bring proof of Kent residency (such as your driving license or a recent tax bill or utility bill with your address at the top). The booking process will also ask you for your vehicle make, model and registration. Make sure you come in the same car that you register.
Vehicle access and restrictions
Vehicles fall into 3 categories:
- Permitted vehicles - standard cars.
- Vehicles allowed with a voucher - these include disability adapted vehicles. Apply for vehicle vouchers here.
- Restricted vehicles - vehicles not allowed on-site include ones heavier than 3.5 tonnes, over 2m in height and hire vans.
Read a detailed description of vehicle terms and conditions here.
There is a 2 metre (6 ft 6 in) height barrier at the Sevenoaks recycling centre. It can be opened for disability adapted vehicles over 2m in height but not for vehicles taller than 2m because of roof racks.
Other useful information
Remember to stay in your vehicle until you're unloading your waste because pedestrians aren't allowed on the premises.
Height barriers can be opened if you are bringing bulky waste loaded onto a roof rack to the recycling centre (e.g. a piece of furniture). The centre will probably not open the barrier for many other cases. If your vehicle exceeds the height restriction because of an empty roof rack then the barrier will not be lifted.
Let the staff know when you arrive if you need any help. They are able to assist if you are elderly or disabled.
