One authority reopening sites is Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority (MRWA). The authority s recycling centres closed across the UK on 24 March following non-essential travel restrictions and social distancing rules; DEFRA have now encouraged councils to re-open them if social distancing measures can be adhered to.
The MRWA, along with its contractor Veolia, will be implementing clear operation guidelines with respect of social distancing for the reopened sites.
City council mayor, Joe Anderson said: I commend the decision to open the sites with social distancing, we are doing this to avoid waste becoming a problem at home. Please only travel if it is essential and follow the instructions given to you by staff on site.
