Hull’s three household waste and recycling centres are to reopen next week, but for essential trips only.

The centres located in Burma Drive, Amsterdam Road (Sutton Fields) and Wiltshire Road will open on Monday 4 May for residents who are unable to keep any excess waste at home.

There are some guidelines to consider when visiting the site:

  • No more than six vehicles allowed on site at one time.

  • Residents should not bring any waste to the site which may be infected with Covid-19.

  • A maximum of one person per vehicle is permitted, unless disposing of a larger item.

  • Staff on site will not be able to assist residents during this period.

  • Residents will not be able to dispose of asbestos during the restricted period and are asked not to bring the material to site.

  • Vehicles should also display a residents' pass in the windscreen as normal, or bring proof of Hull residency in the form of a utility bill or driving licence.

  • No trailers or vans will be permitted to use the sites.

  • Those with Covid-19 symptoms are asked not to visit the site.

Councillor Anita Harrison, portfolio holder for waste management at Hull City Council, said:

For the week commencing Monday 4 and 11 May, the sites will be open on Wednesday and Thursday from 10am - 5pm.

From the week commencing Monday 18 May, the centres will return to their usual opening times and close on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
