Bucks Council has put forward plans to reopen the Household Recycling Centre in Bledlow, near Princes Risborough.
In 2019 the former county council took the decision to close the site due to financial pressures but now the council is in a position to consider reopening the site to meet current and future demand, subject to a decision by the council’s Cabinet.
If the plans move forward, the proposal is to reopen the site in November 2022, to allow for time to prepare and modernise the current facility.
It will open five days a week (closed on Wednesdays and Thursdays), and will be free to visit for all Buckinghamshire residents.
Councillor Gareth Williams is Buckinghamshire Council’s Cabinet Member for Climate Change and Environment.
He said: “Our HRCs provide an essential service to our residents and help us all to recycle more, playing a part in our overall approach to tackling climate change. I’m therefore delighted the council is in a position to be considering reopening the Bledlow site to provide another such facility for Buckinghamshire residents and to bolster the overall service.
There’s a full report going to Cabinet that will be fully scrutinised and considered before a final decision is made.”
