Coronavirus: access for vans, pickups and trailers
Although some of our community recycling centres have reopened, vans, pickups and trailers are not being allowed entry at the moment, even if you have a valid van permit.
Our van permit application process has been temporarily suspended.
As soon as we are able to allow these types of vehicles back on to our sites, our website will be updated and the van permit application process will be reinstated.
Renew and pay for your permit
From 3 January 2020, you will be charged a non-refundable fee of £8.50 if you want to use a van, pickup or trailer to take household waste to a designated Community Recycling Centre. Due to this change, all existing permits will expire on 31 December 2019.
If you have not renewed and paid for your permit when the charge comes in to effect, you will be refused entry.
Change your permit details
If you need to change any of your details listed below, you must update your permit details online via your Surrey account. Your details will already be on our system, so please do not apply again for a permit, as any new applications will fail.
- address
- email address
- telephone number
- vehicle registration
Please note: You will need to accept our terms and conditions before any changes will be accepted.
You will receive an email confirming the changes you have made.
Cancel your permit
If you have moved address, sold your vehicle or moved out of Surrey, you will need to cancel your permit. To do so, please email the following details to: contact.centre@surreycc.gov.uk.

Please do not transfer the permit when you sell your van, pickup or trailer. The new owner will need to apply if they are a Surrey resident and wish to use our community recycling centres.
If you have a printed copy of your permit, you can either destroy the permit or hand it in to any community recycling centre.
