Local bins and recycling news
AI-generated summary, reviewed before publication. Checked 18 September 2026.
A September 2026 report said Warrington’s Cabinet had approved closing Stockton Heath recycling centre. An earlier petition attracted 858 local signatures, with opponents warning of longer journeys, traffic and possible fly-tipping. The council cited the site’s condition, limited materials accepted, location within a residential area and significant financial pressures. Councillors discussed a potential replacement within the South East Warrington development, but said funding and a delivery timetable were not yet in place. Homes England said land or funding contributions still needed agreement. A replacement was therefore not a funded commitment.
