Salisbury household recycling centre closed for five days
The Amesbury site will be open more this week to help with demand
From today (Monday 22nd February), Salisbury's household recycling centre will be closed for five days.
It'll re-open on Saturday 27th February, after 'essential resurfacing works' have been completed by Wiltshire Council.
The closure period includes two days when the centre would have been closed for its normal weekly shutdowns anyway.
In order to help residents while the Churchfields site is shut, the household recycling centre in Amesbury is going to be open more this week.
Residents will be able to book slots 9.00am to 5.00pm for the next five days.
That includes two days that the site on Boscombe Down Business Park would normally be shut, to allow for extra capacity from the Salisbury closure.
Cllr Bridget Wayman, Cabinet Member for Waste at Wiltshire Council, said:
"We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this temporary closure at Salisbury HRC, but these are essential resurfacing works that cannot be delayed.
"We have arranged for extended opening times at Amesbury HRC during the works, so anyone that has to make an essential trip should be able to book a visit to this site during the Salisbury closure.
"I'd like to thank our residents for their patience during this short closure period, and we look forward to Salisbury HRC reopening soon for people to book visits."
SLOTS MUST BE BOOKED
We're reminded that to use the household recycling centres at the moment, we have to book a slot through the Wiltshire Council website.
That's to ensure Covid restrictions are met, by reducing numbers on site.
We're also asked to maintain social distancing when visiting.
