New hours for Nottinghamshire's recycling centres, including Newark's
Recycling centres across Nottinghamshire, including Newark's, are now open from 8am until 8pm every day until Wednesday, September 30.
Social distancing still applies so there may still be queues at some sites. Evenings will be quieter.
The Nottinghamshire Recycling Centres accept a wide range of household waste for recycling; including textiles, glass bottles and jars, wood, scrap metal, batteries, garden waste, electrical appliances and even engine oil and cooking oil.
On average, the Recycling Centres recycle an impressive 80% of the waste they receive.
Top tips to remember when visiting your local recycling centre:
• For your own safety and the safety of others using the sites please ensure you adhere to the social distancing requirements on site. Only one person per gantry or skip at a time.
• If assistance is needed, please ask a member of staff as they are still able to offer advice, but at the moment are not able to physically help you move your waste and recyclables.
• A visit will be quicker if your waste is sorted into types and will help us recycle as much as possible as we can’t currently do any sorting on site.
• Don’t forget you need to be a Nottinghamshire resident and registered to use our Recycling Centres, and will be turned away if not. Register for free at www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/waste-and-recycling/recycling-centres/using-our-recycling-centres/register
• Trade waste, commercial waste, or waste from home building projects can’t be taken to the Recycling Centres. You must only take your own personal household waste.
• Sensible footwear must be worn when visiting the Recycling Centres and waste must be placed into skips carefully to avoid injury.
• Children and animals must stay in vehicles at all times.
