Civic Amenity Site

Civic Amenity Sites and/or Household Waste and Recycling Centres are sites provided by the Council for residents to dispose of household wastes.

The Royal Borough's site is located off of Stafferton Way in Maidenhead (SL6 1AY) although arrangements have been made with Slough Borough Council for residents to use their site at White Hart Road in Chalvey, Slough (SL1 2SF) where this is more convenient.

The site is for the disposal of household waste only, and will not accept commercial or trade waste. It is illegal to deposit trade waste at the Civic Amenity Site and trade vehicles will be refused entry.

To prevent the abuse of the site by trade vehicles a height restriction barrier operates at 2.1m or 6'9''.

Opening hours of the Maidenhead site are :

0800 to 2000 between April and September (inclusive)
0800 to 1630 between October and March (inclusive)

The site is open seven days a week and only closes on Christmas day, Boxing Day and New Years' Day.

The site also offers a number of facilities for the separation of materials in order that they can be recycled or specially treated

Please note that demolition and construction waste such as soil and rubble and DIY materials are classified as industrial waste, not household waste, irrespective of their point of origin.

The Council will accept a small of amount of this type of waste from residents carrying out their own home improvements.

The site will accept the equivalent of one car boot load (6 sacks) of this type of waste per trip. Only one trip per month is permitted.

Please remember the first disposal route for rubble and landscaping waste is via a privately hired skip. Alternatively this material must be taken to a facility which accepts commercial waste where it can be weighed and charged for accordingly.

These sites are for the use of residents of The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead only. For this reason you may be asked by site staff to prove that you live within the area. This can easily be done with a driving license, advantage card, utility bill etc.
