Safety and restrictions

we do not accept asbestos, gas cylinders/bottles or tyres
trailers over 3.5m in length are not permitted
vehicles above 3.5 tonnes gross vehicle weight are not permitted to use in our recycling centres
sites may close earlier if dark
you cannot take waste onto the site by foot.

Do you need a permit?

You no longer need a permit for this centre. We now monitor visits using automatic number plate recognition (ANPR), mystery shoppers and body camera technology.

If you are a charity, please view our information on charity permits.

Reuse shop

To maximise reuse opportunities, we now have a shop at Winsford. Items for sale include bric-a brac, small electrical items and some furniture, all of which are safety tested. This will increase the amount of waste reused, which is preferable to both recycling and waste disposal.
