Household waste recycling centres in Cheshire East are expected to see a surge in visitors over the Easter period, with residents encouraged to consider visiting at another time where possible. 

The Easter period is usually a peak time for people spring cleaning and tackling garden projects, and visits to household waste recycling centres (HWRCs) increase as a result. 

Cheshire East Council has issued advice and information to residents planning to visit over the next week (excluding bank holidays).

The council says residents who need to visit during the Easter need to book a slot in advance if they are visiting at the weekend or on any of the bank holidays.

Booking a slot is quick and easy and can be done HERE.

The council says Residents who need to visit during the Easter need to book a slot in advance if they are visiting at the weekend or on any of the bank holidays (CEC).

Sites are expected to be particularly busy on Tuesday 22 April, with residents advised, if possible, to visit later in the week. 

Between April and September, sites are open until 6pm on weekdays (excluding bank holidays) and are usually quieter later in the day. 

According to the council, household waste recycling centres are usually busiest between 11am and 2pm.

Cheshire East say sites may need to be closed at short notice and visitors turned away if traffic management becomes an issue and it is unsafe to continue operating.
