Bin collections and recycling centres
Refuse collections are continuing as usual and both Chelson Meadow and Weston Mill household recycling centres remain open during their normal opening hours. Weston Mill is now open on Mondays and Fridays, as well as at weekends.
If anyone in your home is experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, bags containing used tissues should be placed into another bag, tied securely and kept separate from other waste. This should be put aside for at least 72 hours before being put in your usual external household waste bin.
Parks, open spaces and play areas
All our parks, nature reserves and play parks remain open. If you visit a play area for exercising please use hand sanitiser before and after and think about how you long you stay, to give everyone a chance to use it safely. Please don't use play areas if you or your child aren’t feeling well.
