Plans to open new tip and recycling centre in north tyneside

A SEARCH FOR A SUITABLE SITE IS UNDER WAY FOLLOWING THE PLEDGE OF NEWLY ELECTED MAYOR KAREN CLARK 10:37, 21 May 2025 North Tyneside Council is hoping to build a new household waste and

recycling centre in the borough, following a pledge by newly elected Mayor Karen Clark. A study is now under way to examine how and where a new site could be established, and to assess the

potential benefits for residents. It will focus on finding a suitable brownfield or industrial site in the north west of the borough, in response to calls from local communities for better

access to waste and recycling facilities. Any new facility would complement the existing facility in North Shields and would be open to all North Tyneside residents. It would be designed to

maximise recycling and encourage the reuse of household goods, in keeping with the borough’s environmental goals and recent projects. Article continues below KEEP UP TO DATE WITH ALL THE

other parts of the north west have consistently told us they want better access to recycling and waste facilities. "As a council that listens, we proposed a feasibility study in our

budget plans and, after strong support through consultation, we’ve now committed the funding to get things moving. I promised I’d deliver this during the election, and I’m delighted the

first step to achieving this is under way." Article continues below The study comes as the council continues to find new ways to boost recycling - from pop-up events at the North

Shields site and reuse shops (where salvaged items are repaired and re-sold), to doorstep collections for small electricals and plans to add new recycling bins at key locations. The study is

expected to be complete by autumn. JOIN OUR WHATSAPP COMMUNITIES ChronicleLive is now on WhatsApp and we want you to join our communities. We have a number of communities to join, so you
