Recycle for Greater Manchester lists 8am to 6pm, Monday to Sunday, closed on Christmas Day and New Year's Day. Tameside's own bulky page gives longer summer hours of 8am to 8pm from April to October, so check before a late visit in summer (checked against Tameside Council and Recycle for Greater Manchester pages on 2 November 2026).
