From Wednesday, 1 April until Wednesday 30, September, household waste recycling centres (HWRCs) at Annfield Plain, Potterhouse Lane, Tudhoe, Seaham, Heighington Lane, Romanway and Middleton-in-Teesdale will be open seven days a week from 9am until 6pm.
The Hett Hills and
Stainton Grove sites will be open on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays
between 9am and 6pm.
Sites at Thornley,
Coxhoe and Horden will be open between 10am and 4pm, Mondays to Thursdays, and
9am until 6pm on weekends and Bank Holidays.
John Shannon,
strategic waste manager at Durham County Council, said: “Extended summer
opening hours mean residents can access household waste recycling centre sites
for longer, particularly after they finish work, and they can dispose of larger
items, free of charge.”
Residents using a
van, pickup, minibus or towing a trailer to dispose of their household waste
must use a waste permit. Visit www.durham.gov.uk/householdpermit
or call 03000 261 000 to apply for a waste permit.
People in Weardale
can dispose of their household waste at a mobile site in Frosterley, just off
the A689, on alternative Saturday mornings, between 9am and 12pm. The site is a
non-waste permit scheme site.
