Restrictions At Household Waste Recycling Centres Eased
Residents will be able to visit Derbyshire County Council’s Household Waste Recycling Centres any day of the week from today.
The layout of the county council’s nine centres have been improved to accommodate more vehicles on site at any one time while allowing visitors to maintain two metre social distancing – meaning the odd and even number plate system put in place to restrict the number of vehicles visiting the sites is no longer in place.
Councillor Simon Spencer, Derbyshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Highways Transport and Infrastructure, said: “I’d like to thank the public for their patience while we’ve been dealing with this unprecedented situation and for continuing to follow our instructions to help things run smoothly.
“I’m pleased that we’ve been able to improve the layout of our sites to accommodate more vehicles but it’s still not business as usual.
“We’re still not at full capacity so visitors should still be prepared to queue at busy times or return at a quieter time. Social distancing measures are still in place and site users will still need to carry their own waste. Skips and ramps should only be approached when it’s clear to do so and visitors should wash their hands when they get home and, of course, stay at home if they’ve had coronavirus symptoms in the last 14 days, are self-isolating or at high risk of contracting the virus.”
The county council’s recycling centres open seven days a week from 8.30am-6pm in the following locations: Ashbourne, Bolsover, Bretby, Chesterfield, Glossop, Ilkeston, Loscoe, Northwood (Darley Dale) and Waterswallows - near Buxton.
Anyone using the sites should wear protective gloves and suitable clothing and footwear to allow them to carry their own waste. Only one person per vehicle should get out of the vehicle unless they need someone to help lift heavy items and children and pets should remain in the vehicle for their own safety and the safety of others.
The queue checking system on the council’s website is no longer in place now more vehicles are allowed on site.
For more information about the types of waste accepted at the sites and all the latest safety information visit www.derbyshire.gov.uk/recyclingcentres Business or trade waste is not accepted.
The site at Waterswallows is operated on the council’s behalf by SUEZ Recycling and Recovery UK and the remaining eight are operated by Renewi UK Services Ltd.
Derby City Council runs a separate household waste recycling centre at Raynesway in Derby which is subject to separate restrictions.
