The Closure Of The Household Waste And Recycling Centre
12/03/08 - DARLINGTON Council is asking residents to store items for recycling as bad weather keeps closing the Borough?s Household Waste and Recycling Centre.
High winds have meant the centre, off Whessoe Road, has been repeatedly closed for safety and environmental reasons.
The site is next to Drinkfield Marsh Nature Reserve and if there is a danger of rubbish been blown onto the reserve, it has to be closed.
The recent high winds have also made it dangerous for residents to be at the site because of the possibility of large pieces of rubbish being blown around.
A Council spokeswoman said: ?We appreciate how frustrating the closures have been for residents but the recent bad weather has left us no choice.
?As soon as we know the centre is going to close we post information on our website and tell the local press so as many residents as possible can find out.
?We are asking people to hang on to any items for recycling and bring them along when the site is open. Paper and glass items can still be left out for collection as part of the kerbside recycling scheme.?
