Vehicles above 3.5 tonnes gross vehicle weight are not permitted.

If you are a charity, please view our information on Charity Permits.
Reuse shops
To maximise reuse, we now have a shop at Chester. It is situated at the Trade Waste Recycling and Disposal Centre next to the recycling centre. 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.
- Core opening times: Monday-Friday - 8am - 4pm, Saturday - 8am - 12pm
- Closed: Sundays, Christmas day, Boxing day, and New Year's day. On other bank holidays we are open as normal.
