Christmas opening times for Hucknall Recycling Centre confirmed

Nottinghamshire County Council's Recycling Centres will be running normal opening hours over the festive period with the exception of Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day.

The County's twelve Recycling Centres, including the one in Hucknall on Wigwam Lane, run by Veolia, the County Council's recycling and waste contractor, will be closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day. All sites will be open between 8am - 4pm every other day over the festive period.

Wrapping paper, cards, Christmas trees, unwanted or broken electrical items including Christmas lights, and excess cardboard and other materials can all be recycled at the sites.

Residents are asked to remember that their recycling bins at home should only contain cans, tins, paper, cardboard and plastic bottles, yoghurt pots and margarine tubs.

To make visits to the Recycling Centre quicker and easier, everyone is encouraged to sort their items such as garden waste, electricals, and scrap metal before they arrive at the site.

Full information on opening hours and the wide range of items that can be taken to the sites, can be found on the County Council website here .
