We have two tips in the city. Clicking on one of the links below will give you information about either one, including a map, opening times, and what rubbish you can take there.
There will be set rules in place for the safety of staff and residents, please be patient and adhere to all site rules.
Site rules

- Drivers of commercial vehicles e.g. vans, camper vans with no seats, panel vans or similar looking vehicles and vehicles with trailers will be asked to show a copy of their driving licence (old paper version or credit card type) – this is to ensure only Stoke-on-Trent City Council residents are tipping their waste up to a maximum of twelve times per year as per our old permit scheme

Important information
We have the right to refuse the tipping of waste if there is a suspicion of house clearances/trade waste activity being carried out.
The right to refuse entry could be due to an excessive number of visits or the type of waste being tipped.
No trade/commercial waste is permitted.
