It may be quicker to visit the Ellesmere Port recycling centre, this site is larger and can accommodate more cars at a time. You can also arrange for bulky items to be collected for a small charge.

Waste Upholstered Domestic seating (WUDs)

This site cannot accept Waste Upholstered Domestic seating (WUDs) including sofas, armchairs, upholstered dining chairs and beanbags.

These items often contain Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). Pops are chemical substances often used as fire retardants which need to be handled and disposed of in a special way to ensure they are not released into the environment and prevent contamination of other waste

These items require a separate designated skip. Due to limited space, we will no longer be able to accept these items at this site

Waste upholstered domestic seating will be accepted at Chester, Ellesmere Port and Winsford recycling centres. For more information please see our POPs page.
