Stockton Heath Community Recycling Centre, Sandy Lane, WA4 2AY
We don’t consider these items as ‘household waste’ so there are limits on how much you can bring to the recycling centre.
Cars pulling small trailers can be used at Stockton Heath, but there is not enough space on site for larger vehicles, vans or trailers. Try Gatewarth community recycling centre or Woolston community recycling centre if you’d like to visit in a larger vehicle, but you may need to apply for a permit before you visit.
None of our community recycling centres accept trade or commercial waste. This includes rubbish or recycling from business premises (including home businesses), shops, offices, factories, garages, car washes, schools, charities, landlords of rented properties, builders and other tradespeople. Take a look at our reliable and competitive trade waste service.
The wellbeing of our staff is really important, we take it very seriously and we don’t tolerate any verbal or physical abuse, or intimidating behaviour.
Sometimes we have to close for a short time when there are lorries on site to collect the containers, we’re sorry if this causes you any inconvenience.
