WILTSHIRE’S Household Recycling Centres (HRCs) have switched to their winter opening hours.
All 10 of Wiltshire Council’s HRCs are open 10am to 4pm on each day that they’re open. At Bowerhill, the opening hours are 10am – 4pm daily; closed Tuesday and Wednesday. These changes take account of reduced HRC usage over the winter months and will last until 31 March.
Wiltshire Council Cabinet Member for Waste Dr Mark McClelland said: “Our Household Recycling Centres will continue to be available to assist and encourage people to recycle as much as possible right through the coming months, albeit on slightly different opening hours.
“In providing the HRCs we support residents to ensure Wiltshire is a place where we all take responsibility for the environment.”
In 2021/22, the council diverted more than 176,000 tonnes of people’s household waste from landfill, which is more than 81% of the 217,389 tonnes of household waste that was managed overall.
