Changes to the recycling service at Chester Road Household Waste Recycling Centre


Hands


From Monday 3 September 2012, the Household Waste Recycling Centre in Chester Road, Stretford, will see some temporary service changes while redevelopment takes place at the site.

This will affect what users can take to the facility to recycle and dispose of. The temporary changes will mean the site will NOT be able to accept the following material types:

  • Waste Oil (both engine oil and used cooking oil)
  • Textiles
  • Media Banks
  • TV and Computer Monitors
  • Laptops
  • Small Domestic Appliances
  • Fridges
  • Asbestos
  • Mixed Recycling (glass, plastic bottles, steel and aluminium cans)
  • Batteries (both automotive and dry cell household)

These service changes are as a result of redevelopment at the facility, which is being expanded to improve the site layout and allow for more materials to be recycled, with the aim of reaching a recycling target of at least 60 per cent.

The service changes are currently scheduled to be completed by the end of December 2012. During this time, recycling site operatives will be on hand to advise residents and re-direct site users to another facility if necessary.
