I have written and lobbied the council, following case work from residents, regarding the tips being closed. I’m delighted that Stoke-on-Trent City Council have listened and made provisions for these to be re-opened.
Both tips are to re-open to the public:
- Hanford from Thursday 14th May
- Federation Road from Friday 15th May.
Both centres will be open on their normal days with a slight change to opening times:
- Hanford; Wednesday - Sunday, 8am - 4pm
- Federation Rd; Friday - Tuesday, 9am - 4pm
Please ensure that you only make the journey to the tip if it is absolutely essential and you cannot keep hold of your waste as this will reduce queues and the amount of traffic on the roads.
Social distancing measures will be in place and there will be restrictions on the amount of cars being unloaded at any one time.
Bulky waste collections are also to re-commence on Wednesday 13th May - this can be booked online via the council website, via the MyStoke App, or by calling 01782 234234
