Trailers or large vehicles
You will need a household waste permit to dispose of your household waste if you drive a van, pickup, commercial type 4x4 or use a trailer between 1.5 and 3.5 metres in length. The length of trailers refers to the total internal length of the trailer box (excluding the tow bar).
Only Pyms Lane in Crewe and Danes Moss in Macclesfield can accommodate trailers over 2.5 metres in length.
We don't allow trailers over 3.5 metres, or vehicles over 3.5 tonnes gross vehicle weight (GVW) on any of our household waste recycling centre sites.
Site rules
To make sure that your visit is a good experience view our household waste recycling centre policy and user guide (PDF, 399KB).
In particular, remember that:
- where young children and pets can’t stay at home, they will be allowed to travel in but they must not get out of the vehicle.
- to help prevent people travelling from areas outside of Cheshire East, we may ask you for evidence of your address – so bring a recent utility bill or council tax bill with you.
- anyone using abusive language or intimidating behaviour towards site staff or other people will be asked to leave.
Our staff make sure our sites are safe and used appropriately. You could be refused access to the centre if you do not follow their instructions or the site rules.
Our household waste recycling centre customer charter (PDF, 129KB) sets out what you can expect from the site staff and what is expected of you. We do not tolerate abusive behaviour.
