Recycling centres to stay open during lockdown in Hampshire
You will have to book a slot online beforehand.
It is business as usual for recycling centres in Hampshire despite the second lockdown for England.
Waste services are deemed essential which means they can stay open.
A booking system is available online and social distancing must be maintained at all times.
Councillor Rob Humby, Executive Member for Economy, Transport and Environment at Hampshire County Council, said:
“I’m really pleased we’ve got absolute clarity from the Government and for this lockdown, the national guidance defines waste services as essential.
"It’s also good news that the Government has said that construction is not expected to close operations down.
“We’ve put in place a booking system at the HWRCs which has been operating well for some time now, and social distancing measures to ensure each of our sites is able to operate in a COVID safe way, so I am confident we will be able to continue offering this service for Hampshire residents as the country enters into the next lockdown period.”
