Residents of Wiltshire will have the opportunity to be recycling for longer hours when the county’s household recycling centres begin their summer schedule from the first of April.
Each and every one of the ten household recycling centres will remain open for the minimum eight hours daily until October 31. The household recycling centres will also be open throughout the season of Easter. The recycling centres are especially expected to be a beehive of activity during the Easter season since that is when most people will be beginning their spring cleaning. The black box kerbside collection will also be affected by the Easter festivities. People are therefore advised to visit their respective tips after the first of April.
While the black box kerbside collection will run normally on Good Friday, the collections will be happening a day later the following week. This means that the collection scheduled for March 24th will be postponed to March 25th. The collections will however go back to the traditional days from the 31st of March.
Beginning on the first of April eight household recycling centres will be operating until seven in the evening on Wednesday and Thursdays. On other days of the week the recycling centres will operate up to five in the evening.
The household recycling centres at Salisbury and Warminster on the other hand will operate up to eight in the evening daily.
The recycling centres handle a wide variety of waste ranging from metals, plastic bottles, car batteries, cardboards, fluorescent light tubes, green garden waste, timber waste, gas bottles to motor oil. The recycling centres also have textile banks for old clothes.
