Strict measures will be in place to ensure that social distancing rules are complied with. Staff will control access to facilities and limit the number of vehicles on site at any one time.

Householders will be required to offload their own waste to maintain social distancing. Householders should continue to recycle/dispose of as much waste as possible in their bins at home, and if circumstances allow, store excess waste in a shed or garage.
