Plans to change the wade trade and bulk waste is disposed at tips in Lichfield and Burntwood are set to be given the green light next week.
Staffordshire County Council has run a consultation on the proposals which would see vans and trailers limited to 12 visits per year to household waste and recycling centres across the county.
Members of the cabinet are being recommended to approve the permit scheme at a meeting on 17th May.
Cllr Simon Tagg, cabinet member for environment, infrastructure and climate change at Staffordshire County Council, said:
“We are committed to providing an efficient and effective household waste and recycling centre network for Staffordshire residents.
“The proposed changes aim to address the issue of queuing on sites due to trade waste vehicles taking space and considerable time to offload waste.
“We have listened to what people had to say and believe permits for residents with vans or trailers – and only accepting trade waste within Staffordshire – will be the best to make sure households can dispose of their waste quickly and efficiently.
“There will be no change to Staffordshire residents disposing of waste in cars and disposal of non-chargeable items will remain the same for both residents requiring and not requiring permits.”

The county council said the changes brought the facilities in line with many neighbouring authorities.
