Record of Officer Decision - Re-Opening of Bromyard, Kington & Ledbury Household Recycling Centres
The decision has been taken to reopen the
Bromyard, Kington and Ledbury Household Recycling Centres, while
still continuing to protect the public from the threat of
Covid-19.
The reopening of these Household Recycling Centres will:
• Ease the pressure on the council’s household waste
collection service, providing an additional location for residents
to dispose of their household waste;
• Provide full coverage for residents across the county;
• Require additional resource to be allocated to our
contractor to appoint additional staff required to open these
recycling centres;
• Better fulfill the council’s statutory obligation to
provide places for residents to disposal of their household
waste;
• This will complement existing additional resource at our
three main facilities to protect staff and the public from the
threat of Covid-19;
• Permit social distancing and improved hygiene control
measures to be implemented at all sites;
• Encourage only the deposit of essential and unavoidable
household waste;
• Ensure services and councils resources are not
overstretched.
• Require a booking system to prevent queuing traffic and
limit numbers of people on site to conform to social distancing
requirements.
