Household Waste Recycling Centres - Temporary Increase in Opening Hours

Decision Maker: Coronavirus (COVID-19) Decisions

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Decision:

To temporarily increase opening hours at the Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs), with all sites opening 7 days a week, and from 9.00 a.m..

 

Reasons for the decision:

With the social distancing measures in place at Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) for the safety of staff and customers, our capacity for customers has been significantly reduced.  Service demand continues to be high and there are regularly queues outside our sites.

 

It will take Veolia two weeks to implement each of these increased opening requirements (starting with 9am opening).
