Changes to household waste recycling centres in Cheshire East have come into effect today (5 August).
- HWRCs in Alsager, Crewe, Macclesfield and Knutsford are now open for an extra hour during weekdays, meaning during this month and September, residents can visit up until 6pm.
- Residents wishing to visit Alsager, Crewe, Macclesfield or Knutsford HWRC during weekends or Bank Holidays now need to book a slot online in advance of their visit. This is so peak period service demand can be managed safely and effectively.
- Bollington, Poynton and Middlewich HWRCs are now under an emergency temporary closure.
- Residents in the Bollington, Poynton and Middlewich areas can book a slot online to visit a mobile household waste recycling centre – they can also visit any of the other HWRCs in the borough. The mobile HWRC is alternating between the three towns and each one will receive one visit per month.
More information – including the link to the booking system – is available at: Household Waste and Recycling
The changes to HWRCs are being introduced on a temporary and trial basis to ensure essential savings are made in 2024/25.
