Waste management

The waste & recycling team would like to wish you a happy Christmas and thank you all for your support over the last year

Welcome to Warrington Borough Council’s waste and recycling web pages

We're here to help you recycle and reduce the amount of waste you create.

Why should I recycle?
On average a UK household produces over one tonne of rubbish a year.

You can help to reduce the amount of waste you produce and recycle more, so that less waste goes to landfill.

Warrington residents are currently recycling and composting over 32% of their household waste, but the remaining is still going to landfill. We still need to work together to continue to increase recycling and reduce the amount of waste we produce.

We have now introduced our three bin refuse and recycling scheme

NEW - Please remember to recycle your real Christmas trees and extra waste

The three community recycling centres will be open every day over the Christmas period except for Christmas day, boxing day and new year's day. These sites at Woolston, Gatewarth and Stockton Heath can take your real Christmas trees and extra Christmas waste. Please seperate any waste so we can try and recycle as much as possible when you visit the sites.
