Safety and restrictions
We do not accept asbestos, gas cylinders, tyres.
Trailers over 3.5m in length are not permitted.
Vehicles above 3.5 tonnes gross vehicle weight are not permitted.
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 shops
To maximise reuse, we now have a shop at Ellesmere Port. Items for sale include bric-a brac 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.
