Maidenhead & Windsor

Disposing of trade and business rubbish has become a whole lot easier as the trade waste facility at Stafferton Way, Maidenhead, has extended its hours to cover the entire working day.

The Maidenhead site is now open from 7.30am to 6.30pm from April 1 to October 31, and 7.30am to 4.30pm from November 1 to March 31, except for Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day when the site is closed.

This is an almost four-fold increase on the previous opening hours of 4pm to 7pm Monday to Friday and 8am to noon Saturday and Sunday throughout the year.

Cllr Simon Werner, lead member for Maidenhead public protection, said: "This is a wonderful opportunity for local businesses to use our facilities rather than go to Slough."

Terry Gould, head of public protection, said: "To continue the improved management of the civic amenity site and to prevent the deposit of wrong materials, the borough has worked closely with Cleanaway to extend the opening hours of the trade waste facility to make the site more available and convenient for use by local traders and businesses."

The site accepts waste and recyclable material but does not accept asbestos, paint, chemicals, fluorescent tubes, batteries, oils, electrical goods, clinical and hazardous waste.

Charges remain competitive – £75 plus VAT per tonne, for both waste and recycling, with a minimum charge of £25 plus VAT.
