The council
Tameside's bulky collection will not take fence panels, large gates, concrete posts or wire fencing (checked against Tameside Council and Recycle for Greater Manchester pages on 2 November 2026). Storm damage and new fences are a common reason people end up with a pile of old panels.
Doing it yourself
- Pull out or cut off nails and staples
- Break or cut panels down so they fit in the car
- Keep wood, metal and concrete separate
- Take wood to Ash Road in Droylsden or Bayley Street in Stalybridge
Broken concrete counts as hardcore and rubble, which is limited to five 900mm by 600mm sacks a visit, from your own DIY. A full-length concrete post will not fit in a sack, so ask staff before you load it. Vans need a free van permit.
