Staffordshire’s Household Waste Recycling Centres will reopen on Thursday 14 May.
Sites that would normally be shut on a Thursday will also be open on 14 May, before reverting to their normal hours from the following Monday
Centres will be open for essential use only and clear and simple rules will be put in place for visitors. Not able to offer a full service, will have to restrict the number of vehicles allowed on a site at any one time to comply with Government guidance on social distancing.
Although sites are reopening, please bear in mind the following:
- please only visit if it is essential as initial demand will be high;
- no vans, trailers or flatbed trucks will be allowed on sites until further notice;
- one person per vehicle;
- access will be by car only, no pedestrians allowed;
- a strict, two-metre distance rule will always be in place;
- materials such as asbestos, oils and paints cannot be accepted at this stage;
- only bring items that you can safely load and unload yourself. Staff will be unable to help carry heavy items as it will break social distancing rules;
- allow time for queuing.
