A full Household waste and Recycling centre service is hoped to be back up and running in Rutland by the end of June.

The County Council says in line with the Governments roadmap of easing lockdown they're planning to be back to normal around 21st June.

The full return will be phased including the planned reopening of the Cottesmore facility in mid May. Pre booked slots there will be necessary. While North Luffenham's will also start to use a booking system that'll be open from Monday.

Reopening of Cottesmore and changes to North Luffenham site

The return to full service, which includes the reopening of Cottesmore HWRC on 17 May 2021, will take place in phases, the Council says it's to make sure all operations run as smoothly and safely as possible. This will include the introduction of a temporary booking system, with pre-booked time slots for residents to access HWRCs (first North Luffenham and then Cottesmore).

The temporary booking system to reserve a time slot at North Luffenham HWRC will go live on Monday 12 April 2021. From Tuesday 27 April, you will not be able to use North Luffenham HWRC unless you have booked in advance.

Following the switch to a booking system at North Luffenham HWRC from Tuesday 27 April, all temporary traffic restrictions currently in place around site will be removed, meaning two-way traffic flow will be reinstated along Glebe Road. The new exit gate at North Luffenham HWRC will also be brought into use for the first time.

The temporary booking system to reserve a time slot at Cottesmore HWRC will go live on Tuesday 4 May 2021. When Cottesmore reopens on Monday 17 May, you will not be able to use the site unless you have booked in advance.

Trailers will continue to be banned from Cottesmore HWRC when the site reopens on 17 May, although this will be kept under review.
