Ellesmere Port recycling centre

This site will close promptly at 4pm. The gates may be closed before the closing times to allow those on the site to dispose of their waste. 

Winter opening hours, October to March

• Monday - Sunday 8am - 4pm

We are currently experiencing a large amount of visitors, therefore we would recommend you only visit the site if your journey is essential. When visiting you will be required to provide proof of residency and you should also follow our code of conduct.

Safety and restrictions

• we do not accept asbestos, gas cylinders/bottles or tyres
• trailers over 3.5m in length are not permitted
• vehicles 3.5 tonnes and above 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.
