New longer opening hours have been introduced at Highbridge’s waste recycling centre this month.
From the start of April, summer opening hours came into force and the recycling centre is now open from 9am until 4pm on both Saturdays and Sundays.
Highbridge’s Isleport Recycling Centre is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, but it is open on other weekdays from 9am-6pm over the summer.
The changes are part of a raft of alterations to Somerset’s waste services, with extra weekly plastics recycling, three-weekly rubbish collections, and an end to landfilling most refuse being planned from 2020.
Somerset Waste Partnership’s Managing Director, Mickey Green, said: “These improvements reflect what customers have told us they want, especially the extra weekend hours and later summer evenings.”
“Most importantly, they ensure all 16 sites stay open, and that each site’s hours carefully match the existing use and future needs as Somerset’s population and housing stock expands.”
