Staffordshire County Council revealed plans to close Burntwood Household Waste Recycling Centre in June as part of a £130,000 a year cost-cutting measure.
The centre was due to close in July, but the council's corporate review committee yesterday insisted plans are reviewed.
The review will be by a policy advisory group made up of county councillors.
