Staffordshire Waste Recycling Centre Limited Update - 24 July 2025

Today (24 July), the Environment Agency has issued a Revocation Notice to Staffordshire Waste Recycling Centre Limited (SWRCL) for the Environmental Permit EPR/WE2469AA. The revocation is due to come into effect on 22 August 2025.

Once the permit has been revoked, this means that SWRCL will no longer be authorised to operate its waste transfer station.

SWRCL must also take the steps set out in the notice to store waste in a manner that minimises the risk of pollution to the local environment and residents whilst they work to remove the waste.

If SWRCL do not comply with the notice, it will be committing an offence.

SWRCL has the right to appeal the decision to revoke their permit through the Planning Inspectorate. Any Notice of Appeal must be submitted before 22 August 2025.

We will continue to update our Engagement HQ website when we have further news to share with the community.
