Cambs Household Recycling Centres To Re-Open

County Council plans to open all nine of its sites. 

Cambridgeshire County Council and contractor Amey will re-open the County’s Household Recycling Centres from Monday 11th May.

Each of the nine HRCs in the county also has a detailed traffic management plan, drawn up in partnership with Skanska and in consultation with Cambridgeshire Constabulary, to limit the impact on roads around each site.

Local Government secretary Robert Jenrick‘s statements over the weekend gave councils in England and Wales the green light to plan site openings  as part of a gradual easing government lockdown measures.

Some of the key conditions of opening will include:

A limit to vehicle numbers on site  - in the same way as limits on customers in  supermarkets
No more than two adults to be allowed to unload any one  vehicle
No staff assistance to unload vehicles
No vans or trailers that require a permit

It is advised that journeys to the Household Recycling Centres should only be undertaken if waste or recycling cannot be stored at home without causing risk of injury to health or harm.

People who must continue to stay away from these sites are those who are or have anyone in their household, suffering from Covid-19 symptoms, or have been diagnosed as having the virus.
