You can use the HWRC's with a hire vehicle, in the following circumstances:

• The hire period is for no more than 2 days
• The vehicle is one which we allow on site (please see list above)
• The waste you wish to deposit is household waste only from Blackburn with Darwen residences

Documents

Take the following documents to the site:

• hire documents

Present these documents to the staff on site who will record your details, and issue you with a permit allowing you to tip once at the centre, either then or later (depending upon if you have loaded your vehicle).
