Neston recycling centre

Please note: Vehicles with trailers of more than 2.5 metres in length will be refused entry to this recycling centre.

This site will close promptly at 5pm and there will be no entry after this time. The gates may be closed before the closing times to allow those on the site to dispose of their waste.

Summer opening hours, April to September

• Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday 9am - 5pm
• Tuesday and Wednesday closed

Please note: Our recycling centres are working to new temporary site rules. We are also 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. 

You need a residents permit for this site.

Safety and restrictions

• we do not accept asbestos, gas cylinders, tyres
• trailers over 2.5m in length (length measured from A frame connection to the rear of the trailer) 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?

Yes, a residents permit is required if you want to use Neston recycling centre. This is because it is very close to the border with another council. We monitor visits using automatic number plate recognition (ANPR), mystery shoppers and body camera technology.

You can visit this site using a hired van as long as you provide proof of residency and your residents permit.

Reuse shops

Please note: the reuse shop is currently closed.

To maximise reuse, we now have a shop at Neston. Items for sale include bric-a brac and some furniture. This will increase the amount of waste reused which is preferable to both recycling and waste disposal. 

We currently do not accept or sell small electrical items, car seats and helmets as these require safety testing and there is no facility for this on site.

We only take cash payments for reuse items at this site.
