正文(英文) | The government has published new guidance on how recycling centres can be safely re-opened during the coronavirus outbreak The government has today published guidance for local authorities on how they can safely re-open their Household Waste and Recycling Centres (HWRCs). Councils are being encouraged to open sites to avoid the build-up of waste in homes and businesses and reduce the opportunity for fly-tipping - but only where social distancing can be maintained and the public and staff can be kept safe. Under the terms of the lockdown, householders can travel to a centre if the waste in their home presents a risk of injury or a risk to public health or the local environment. The guidance sets out how local authorities could manage access and the number of people who are able to be on site at any one time. If possible, waste should continue to be stored safely and disposed of using regular council collections. Environment Minister Rebecca Pow said:
The new guidance recognises the importance of councils making independent assessments of which centres can be re-opened based on how much capacity they have and the practicalities of adhering to social distancing requirements at any one site. Householders should check with their council to see if their local site is open. Local Government Minister Simon Clarke said:
Cllr David Renard, Environment spokesman for the Local Government Association, said:
In April, Defra published waste collection prioritisation guidance for local authorities, with recommendations on how they could prioritise and adapt their collection services and mitigate any impacts being felt by coronavirus. The government says councils’ top priority should be the collection of residual ‘black bag’ waste to avoid the build-up of waste and protect public health.
