A Change Would Do You Good

Household Recycling Centres switch to winter opening hours

Visitors to Buckinghamshire's Household Recycling Centres (HRCs) are being reminded that from Tuesday 1 October, opening hours at all 10 centres across the county will be switching to the winter hours of 9am to 4pm.

The change in opening hours occurs every year, in line with shorter days bringing fewer visitors to the sites after 4pm.

Thomas Broom, Buckinghamshire Council's Cabinet Member for Climate Change and Environment said: "During the winter months we find far fewer residents visiting our HRCs after 4pm therefore we change the regular opening hours to reflect this."

Thomas continued: "All other site opening arrangements remain unchanged, so centres are open on the same days, it is just the hours that change between the beginning of October and the end of March."

To find out which days your local HRC is open and also further details of what can and cannot be taken to a centre, visit: buckinghamshire.gov.uk/waste-and-recycling

If you are worried about the site being busy you can check ahead and view live webcam footage via the council website and plan your trip accordingly.

Thomas added: "Don't forget, any items such as furniture, garden equipment, bicycles and household equipment in good condition that you are looking to get rid of, can be taken to any HRC where they are collected for reuse."

Items donated are sold on by South Bucks Hospice which runs the reuse shops in High Wycombe and Aston Clinton HRCs. Items for resale can be taken to any of the 10 sites and will be transported to the reuse shops.
