The
Household Reuse and Recycling Centre and the Household Green Waste Reception at
La Collette remain open.
However,
in light of the current coronavirus situation, Islanders are being asked to
only use the facilities if necessary and are advised to expect delays of at
least 30 minutes as the number of vehicles permitted onto each site at any one
time is limited.
Islanders
are also asked to ensure they follow the social distancing principles set out
by the Government, of maintaining a distance of two metres (six feet) away from
anyone who is not part of their household. Meanwhile, customers over the age of
65 and those who are self-isolating must not visit the facilities.
Emma
Richardson-Calladine, Recycling Manager for the Department for Growth, Housing
and Environment, said: “Although our sites remain open we want to urge
Islanders to only use the facilities if it is absolutely essential. We also ask
that customers to be patient if there are queues to access the sites – the
rules around social distancing are in place to protect everyone within the
community.”
