Longer opening hours will be in place from Friday 1 April 2011 at theHousehold Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC) on Newtown Road, Newbury, managed by Veolia Environmental Services on behalf of West Berkshire Council.
The normal six-monthly change will see the HWRC open for an additional two hours in the evening, making it easier for people to use the site around their own schedules; the opening hours are 8.30am until 7.30pm from 1 April until 30 September. This matches the longer daylight hours during the spring and summer.
General Manager for Veolia Environmental Services - West Berkshire, Tracey Reilly, said: "The changes to opening hours at the HWRC give residents more options when bringing their waste to the site for reuse and recycling. This should make it easier for residents to increase recycling and send even less to landfill."
West Berkshire Council's Waste Contract Manager Jackie Ward, said: "Residents can check for latest up to date information on waste services on the Council's Waste webpages (www.westberks.gov.uk/waste). The website also has the revised collection calendar and dates for the April and May Bank holidays."
The new Recycle for West Berkshire newsletter will delivered to residents in the next few weeks and replaces the waste collection calendar from Christmas which expires during April.
