Recycling and Waste
*Latest News - Due to unforeseen circumstances Staffordshire County Council has been forced to temporarily suspend the acceptance of textiles for recycling at the Newcastle Household Waste Recycling Centre. This service will be reinstated as soon as possible. Until then, textiles can still be taken to Stone or Biddulph Household Waste Recycling Centres.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
