Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) in County Durham will soon be switching to summer opening hours.
From Sunday, 1 April until Sunday, 30 September, HWRCs will operate the following opening times:
Monday to Sunday – 9am to 6pm: – Heighington Lane, Newton Aycliffe.
Centres are open as normal during the Easter holiday period, unless stated otherwise.
John Shannon, Durham County Council’s strategic waste manager, said: “HWRCs opening longer from 1 April enables residents more opportunity to use the sites to dispose of waste and recycle household materials.
Residents who are planning to visit a HWRC in a van, trailer, mini-bus or pick-up will need to apply for a free waste permit in advance. Save time and apply online at www.durham.gov.uk/householdpermit or by calling 03000 26 0000.
Commercial waste produced by businesses and landlords is not accepted at HWRCs and must be disposed of by a registered waste carrier. Further details can be found at www.durham.gov.uk/commercialwaste
