Coverage limits
- Map records can be incomplete or out of date. A map position does not confirm opening hours or accepted items.
- Detailed pages show only the fields supplied by the public source. Unknown fields stay marked as unknown.
- Great Britain postcode coordinates come from OS Code-Point Open. BT postcode coordinate search is not available.
- Provider rules can change between data builds. Check the official provider before you travel.
Questions about coverage
- Does every mapped recycling point have a detailed page?
- No. The map has 94,893 records, while 1,157 records currently have detailed pages. A page needs enough useful source information to help with a visit.
- Why can a map point have little information?
- Public map records can contain only a type and coordinates. The site keeps these points on the map but does not invent an address, opening hours or item list.
- Can I search with a Northern Ireland postcode?
- BT postcode coordinate search is not available because the local postcode files cover Great Britain. You can still search by town and browse Northern Ireland map records.
