Access for vehicles over 1.7metres tall
- If you live in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead and your vehicle is higher than the 1.7metres (5ft 9inches) height barrier, you must use the Waste Transfer Station at Stafferton Way household waste and recycling centre.

There may be conditions on certain materials being accepted at any time, which will mean your items may be refused. To avoid being turned away, please check the following list before you come to the centre:
- items we do not accept
- household items we accept free of charge
- non household items that we accept and may have a charge - note you may be charged for these items, if you bring more than a limited amount of DIY waste.

- Remove waste items out of any black sacks or plastic bags.
- Separate your waste and recycling into the correct labelled containers.
Waste disposed of in the non-recycling container will be sent for incineration at Lakeside Electricity from Waste (EfW).
