Put This On
Your Own Site

If you run a council waste page, a school IT page, a library digital-inclusion page or a community site, you are welcome to embed our tools. One iframe. No script needed, no account, and nothing that would need declaring in your privacy notice.

Recycling centre lookup

Visitors search their council or district and get the authority that actually runs their recycling centres, plus whether business waste is accepted there where we have verified it.

Useful on: Council waste pages, business support pages, chambers of commerce.

Dark page? Add ?theme=dark

The widget is light by default, because most host pages are. If yours is dark, append ?theme=dark to the src and it switches. Nothing else changes.

Optional: make it resize itself

The version above is a fixed height and scrolls inside itself, which works everywhere. If your CMS allows inline script, this version resizes to fit its content instead. Many council CMSs strip script from page content, so check it actually runs before relying on it.

The terms, such as they are

Use it on any site, including a commercial one. Keep the attribution link — it is the only thing we ask, and it is why the widget is free.

No cookies, no tracking, no storage. The widget sets nothing on your visitors’ devices, so it should not need adding to your cookie policy. Worth checking against your own rules, but there is nothing there to declare.

It will not invent an answer. Where we have not verified a council’s business waste position, the widget says so and points people at that council’s own pages. It will never attribute a policy to an authority we have not read.

We may change how the widget looks. We will not change the URL, and if a widget is ever retired the embed will explain itself rather than going blank.

Something you would find more useful? Tell us — a widget somebody has asked for is worth more than one we guessed at.
