Recycling centre near Bridlington to reopen to the public tomorrow
It's after a major fire at the Moor Lane site
A recycling centre near Bridlington will reopen to the public tomorrow at 10am (25th August) following a major fire.
Crews were called to the Carnaby site on Moor Lane around 5.30am yesterday morning and stayed until around 4pm.
It's been closed since then to allow the clear up operation to continue and the damage be assessed - the cause is still being investigated.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council say:
"People in the local area may also experience a slight delay to their bin collections over the next few days – as bin waste is initially taken to the Carnaby site - but they are asked to please bear with the council for the time being."
The cause of the fire is still being investigated, but it started in an area where green bin waste collected on rounds was stored.
Carl Skelton, acting director of streetscene services at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “I’m delighted we will be able to reopen the Carnaby site to the public tomorrow.
“Staff at the Carnaby site from FCC Environment, which manages our recycling sites, have done an amazing job in dealing with the damage caused and getting the site safe and ready for it to reopen so quickly.
“I’d like to say a big thank you to firefighters for their efforts in saving the building from further damage yesterday.
“I also want to thank the public for bearing with us while we dealt with the fire.
“Our bin collection crews are working extremely hard to make sure all bins in the local area are still being emptied.”
