The rules
Tameside's trade waste page says it is illegal to take trade or business waste to any household recycling centre. It also says that from 31 March 2025 businesses must separate recyclable material from general waste. For regular collections, the council offers a trade waste service from £452 a year from April 2026 (checked against Tameside Council and Recycle for Greater Manchester pages on 2 November 2026).
Of the 296 fixed penalties Tameside issued for waste offences in 2025, 258 were for fly-tipping and 8 for failing to produce a waste transfer note.
