Community Recycling Centres

Our community has three Community Recycling Centres (CRCs) for disposal of waste and recycling. Residents of Northumberland County may use any of our three CRCs to dispose of items such as household garbage, bulky waste items and recyclable materials.

Dumping trailers are accepted at Brighton CRC only. Bewdley and Seymour CRCs operate as waste transfer stations and cannot accommodate trailer dumping.

The Hope Transfer Station is only available for use by residents of the Port Hope Rural Ward.

These facilities accept payment by debit and credit only.
