The Reliance Street HWRC in Newton Heath, Manchester will be shut from 8pm on Sunday 29 June 2025.
The improvements will look to bring more parking bays to the site, more space for recycling containers and a donation container for items that are too good to throw away.
Councillor Tom Ross, GMCA lead for green city-region and waste, said: “These improvement works at our Reliance Street site are essential and it’s great that work will be getting underway soon.
“Adding a donation container and a Renew Shop are a particular benefit to the residents that use Reliance Street, with the money raised going to many great causes.”
The site is operated by Suez as part of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) waste contracts.
The improvements will also include a Renew Shop which will sell pre-loved household items that have been repaired and renewed, to be sold at an affordable price to raise money for charity.
Improvements will also be made to improve the recycling facilities and access for users.
As a result of the upgrades, the site will no longer need to close for short periods throughout the day when full containers are moved and changed.
The nearest alternative HWRCs are:
- Arkwright Street, Oldham, OL9 9LZ (3.9 miles)
- Ash Road, Droylsden, M43 6QU (2.5 miles)
- Spring Vale, Middleton, M24 2HQ (4.3 miles)
Andrew Bewicke, regional manager at Suez, said: “Local residents will see a much more modern recycling centre when these improvement works are complete.
“These are exciting changes which will allow us to collect more types of items for recycling and provide a better customer experience.”
