Recycling centres in Lichfield and Burntwood could be open for longer if plans get the go-ahead.
Items such as carpets and mattresses could also be accepted if plans are approved by Staffordshire County Council.
The authority is expected to sign off a contract with waste management firm FCC next week which will see sites across the county stay open until 5pm during the winter. They currently shut at 4.30pm.
Staffordshire County Council’s cabinet support member for environment and rural affairs Gill Heath said: “Our new waste recycling centre arrangements could be a real winner for Staffordshire people, businesses and the environment.
“Improved facilities, longer opening hours, new services for small businesses and more people on hand to help at each centre will mean a better all-round experience for centre visitors. What is even better is that we are managing to achieve annual savings of £240,000 resulting in an efficient and best value for money service.”
The county council’s Cabinet are expected to approve the plans at a meeting on June 19.
