New booking system for Farthinghoe Household Waste and Recycling Centre
30/09/2025
Only people who live in West Northamptonshire will be able to use the system and gain free access to the site
A new booking system is being introduced for anyone wanting to visit the Farthinghoe Household Waste and Recycling Centre.
West Northamptonshire Council is making the change at its six Household Waste and Recycling Centres to help reduce queues, ease pressure on surrounding roads, and ensure a smoother experience for local residents.
The new booking system comes into force on Monday, November 3 with bookings open from October 20.
The new system will only be available to people who live in West Northamptonshire. Trade customers and those will live outside the West Northants area will have the option to pay to use the service, by following the instructions on the council’s website.
Bookings can be made up to 2 weeks in advance or on the day at least 30 minutes before arrival.
Councillor Nigel Stansfield, the council’s Cabinet Member for Environment, Recycling and Waste, said: “We know that the introduction of this new system may take some residents time to get used to but it is designed to make visits to our recycling centres a more pleasant and efficient experience.
“We’ve listened to feedback from people about the access to sites and queues and by managing demand and making sure that those using the facilities live in West Northamptonshire, we can reduce traffic, improve safety, and ensure our sites are used fairly and responsibly.
“We want to encourage as many people as possible to recycle their waste and dispose of it properly, and with many other local authorities across the country already using or introducing booking systems, we’re confident that this will be benefit residents accessing these services.”
You don’t need to book a slot to visit or donate to the re-use shops at the Farthinghoe centre.
