Waste Management Homepage

The Waste & Planning Service is the Waste Disposal Authority for Cheshire and is responsible for arranging the disposal of all household waste arising in the County. We seek to minimise the amount of domestic waste being sent to landfill through a combination of recycling facilities at our Household Waste Recycling Centres and the promotion of waste reduction and recycling.
