Birmingham residents are being reminded that opening hours at the city’s recycling centres are about to change for the winter.
A Household Recycling Centre
From 1 November, until the end of March 2021, the city’s five Household Recycling Centres (HRCs), operated by Veolia, will be open as follows:
| Location | Monday to Friday | Saturday and Sunday |
|---|---|---|
| Holford Drive, Perry Barr | 8am to 6pm | 8am to 4pm |
| James Road, Tyseley | 8an to 6pm | 8am to 4pm |
| Lifford Lane, Kings Norton | 8am to 6pm | 8am to 4pm |
| Norris Way, Sutton Coldfield | 8am to 6pm | 8am to 4pm |
| Tameside Drive, Castle Bromwich | 8am to 6pm | 8am to 4pm |
All five Household Recycling Centres will be closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
Residents will still need to book a slot, but the overall number of available slots at the HRCs will not be decreased, despite the reduction in opening hours during the winter period. This means more slots will be available per hour to accommodate as many visits as possible whilst adhering to Government guidelines.
Visitors are reminded to stick to their time slot to ensure social distancing measures can be adhered to on-site to keep both the public and Veolia teams safe. Arriving late or early for a visit may result in being denied access to the site.
Mark Powell, General Manager for Veolia in Birmingham said: “All visits to Birmingham’s Household Recycling Centres must be booked online ahead of the visit . Access to the HRC sites will be denied if a booking hasn’t been made. Remember, separate your waste and recycling before visiting the recycling centres as it will make the visit more efficient when depositing the waste at the HRC. This will also help us all to recycle as much of Birmingham’s waste as possible together.
“If you are thinking of visiting an HRC with a van or large trailer (larger than 6’x4’), you must pre-book by calling the van booking office on 0203 567 3915 Monday to Friday 8am – 4pm.”
