Restrictions at Devon’s Recycling Centres are to be eased further this week, with personal vans allowed to bring household waste from Wednesday 24 June. Vans will need to pre-book their visit at three of the county’s busiest sites.
The phased reopening of Devon’s Household Waste Recycling Centres for essential use only has gone ‘relatively well so far’ says Councillor Andrea Davis, ‘but we are experiencing some problems with traffic queuing back onto the public highway causing a safety issue, which we’re having to address.’
Donated equipment, including commodes, walking frames, perching and shower stools, is being collected from households across the county following an appeal by Devon County Council for community equipment which is no longer being used.
It follows the Prime Minister’s announcement on Monday night regarding the temporary restrictions on movement being put in place as a result of Covid-19.
Carbon contributions from each of Devon’s eight district waste collection authorities as well as its recycling centres will be included in the analysis.
