Cumbria County Council as the waste disposal authority is responsible for the disposal of household waste and for providing Household Waste Recycling Centres for householders to recycle and dispose of their waste.

Cumbria's district councils are responsible for waste collection services, including weekly collections of household waste, special collections for bulky household items and the recycling of rubbish. 

Together the 7 Cumbrian authorities make up Resource Cumbria which is Cumbria's strategic waste partnership. Our partnership website recycleforcumbria.org (external link) is your one stop shop for all recycling service information in Cumbria.
