Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Welcome to the latest addition to our webpage, where you can find out everything about the Flu in Hampshire. The most authoritative and popular source of information in the country will now be here on our website. You will also be able to use this information to help your family, friends, work colleagues and local community prepare for Flu season. Dorset County Council and Public Health England have developed this website to help Hampshire residents prepare for a major outbreak of Coronavirus known as COVID-19.

This website has been designed to provide easy to understand information about what you can do to protect yourself and your family, Hampshire List (hampshire-list.co.uk). The Coronavirus (COVID-19) has been in the headlines for a number of days now, with public health officials struggling to respond to the outbreak. We are asking you to remain at home until further notice and not to risk your own and others’ wellbeing by travelling without essential travel. On 4 January 2021, the Government announced a strain of coronavirus as the cause of the “FFS” pandemic.

It reached epidemic levels by late January 2021. It is known to be rapidly fatal in humans (70% rate) and extremely infectious. England is affected most severely at present. Political Make up of the Council for Greater London. 24 of 32 (75. 00%) of local authorities perform better than in Greater London Borough of Bexley. East Hampshire District Council have performed worse than 269 other local authorities in the country for their Political Make up.

Social distancing measures at HWRCs

Social distancing measures are typically implemented by local authorities through their Health Protection teams, to protect the public and staff from those individuals with confirmed or suspected diagnosis of disease. Legislation has changed several times in the past decade, but the Public Health (Infectious Diseases) Regulations or “Ivy” still applies to prevent the spread of infection at HWRCs. The regulations have also been further strengthened by the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984 and most recently by the Care Act 2014.

This article outlines how social distancing measures are implemented at Hampshire HWRCs. Hampshire Fire & Rescue Service (HFRS) provides support for those who live in communal settings such as nursing and residential homes, sheltered housing and care homes, where there may be a higher risk of fires and fire attacks. To ensure their safety, we have introduced new measures at all Hampshire HWRCs to help prevent fire escapes. These are based on a well-established international design called social distancing.

Social distancing measures have been employed at Hampshire's Healthcare Waste and Rubbish (HWRC) centres. This comes after the acts of terrorism, largely in Europe, and mass public gatherings in Asia during 2015. Social distancing measures limit social contact between people usually for a limited period of time. This is due to health concerns that arise from the spread of certain diseases/outbreaks. All residents at HWRCs should book an appointment to meet with the staff. It is vital that all residents are supervised whilst online.

Where to take and how to book

Where to take and how to book. Small amounts of cement bonded asbestos sheet (no more than 15 sheets size 1200mm x 600mm) can be taken to one of five Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) licensed to receive this type of hazardous waste. No other type of asbestos is allowed. It is of the utmost importance to maintain social distancing measures in the digital world by enforcing these measures in relation to HWRCs. Social distancing measures are in effect at all Hampshire, Worcester and Thames Response Centres (HWRCs).

Safe handling

The handling, movement and storage of whole sheets should be organized so as to minimize the risk of damage. Large sheets (larger than 1. 2 m x 2. 0 m) should be transported on portable pallets constructed according to the code of practice for the Construction of Planers and Skips (CAP 336). Both the pallet and lifting gear should be capable of withstanding a load of over 100 kN (10 tonnes). All lifting gear should be certified as being approved by a recognized national organization.

Following on from the previous health and safety point, it is important to take all measures possible to ensure safety on site. For glass mosaics, this includes ensuring that workers have protective goggles and gloves. Fragments of glass can be just as dangerous as sharp pieces of ceramic if not careful – be prepared!. The work should be done in a well ventilated area. The recommended P100 filter masks are strongly recommended while handling this material.

Any excess dust generated during the process of working should be disposed off through a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter. If you have not handled sheet glass before, you should take care to avoid injury. Glass is slippery and can slide from your hand unexpectedly. Rough handling may cause it to crack or even break. Heavy pieces need two people to lift them safely. This means that no one except staff or pre-booked visitors can visit them.

Safe disposal

When waste aggregate is removed from your home site, it is taken to a recycling facility where the soil/stone is separated out and any timber/waste will be disposed of.     Because the type of waste will vary it is important to have a mix of soil/sand and stone only in each bag.     Soil and rubble must not contain any plastic or metal.     Return soil bags to site for re-use, do not dispose of in skips or other recycling facilities.

Materials should be removed at the end of each day to ensure accessibility for the end of festival clean up. Dust sheets and markers are available to clearly label materials - please ensure they remain visible as per diagram. Materials can not be left overnight on site. Protecting the environment is important to us all. When it comes to construction on-site, we try to practice as much recycling and waste management as possible. While we can't always achieve a zero waste strategy, we are certainly trying our best.

Costs and ways to pay

Soil will be charged at 3 for each standard rubblebag or part bag, up to a maximum of 53. 5 x 82cm (when laid flat) filled so that the waste is contained and can be safely lifted. We would not fill garden bags, but they can be used if you wish. A rubble bag is a bag constructed of No. 10 gauge, black plastic. It is intended for the deposit or storage of soil or fill material.

It is not intended for the deposition of liquid waste. Soil will be charged at 3 for each standard rubblebag or part bag, up to a maximum of 53. 5 x 82cm (when laid flat), filled so that the waste is contained and can be safely lifted. Carrier bags, and 'soil'which is a mixture of compost and other green waste, are normally collected free of charge from householders. Rubble, soil, hardcore, bricks/stones, and rocks/boulders cannot be bagged as they are too large.

Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The virus, known as Coronavirus (COVID-19) has spread to most areas of the country. The virus is related to SARS and appears to be a coronavirus (a separate group of viruses from the more common cold or flu viruses). Because of the significant similarity between SARS and this new virus, the illness is being termed "SARS-like". If you have an interest in using the Government online services, please note that some of our services are affected by the Coronavirus (COVID-19).

If you need to contact us, please visit our COVID-19 webpages for the latest updates and changes to services, as well as for information and guidance. A sudden outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) has caused the death of five people in Bolton and East Lancashire. Several Lancaster residents who have returned from Pakistan with symptoms of respiratory problems are being tested for the virus. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), Coronavirus – known as COVID-19 – has spread from Saudi Arabia to the Middle East and Europe, mainly affecting Iran and India.

My son has just been confirmed with coronavirus and he spent last night in hospital. It’s terrifying. I’ve called in to work to be with him – what else can I do?. NHS Choices published information and advice for dealing with influenza and the virus Coronavirus (COVID-19) that has been found in three people in the UK. Soil and rubble must be contained within the areas identified. Containers are situated around the areas outlined in white.

The Swansea NHS Trust is running at full capacity and has closed its A&E department at the  Singleton Hospital in Swansea. Our own casualty unit at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester remains open, although we are advising that patients use the A&E service of their preferred hospital. Backstreet Doctors offers flu vaccinations and health checks for all residents of Hampshire. We would like to advise all our patients with flu-like symptoms to go to their GP rather than turning up at our surgeries, as waiting times will be extremely long due to the current situation.

The flu vaccine is free of charge for anyone between the ages of 65 and 75, or if you have a chronic health problem. This is due to Government cut backs. For more information on. Please note; residents in some areas have been asked to stay at home from Monday 4 January. Residents of St Mary Street, Winchester, and most of the adjoining streets are included. Some services are closed on Tuesday 5 January. All GP Practices are closed that day and will open again at their usual times on Wednesday 6 January.

We are asking residents to stay at home if they are not suffering with any symptoms of infection. Hampshire County Council has now confirmed that a Coronavirus similar to the one identified in Saudi Arabia is present in the South of England. Health and Social Care services, schools and colleges have been instructed by the Chief Medical Officer to remain vigilant for any cases of Infection or symptoms consistent with Coronavirus. The name of the current 'flu bug sweeping the nation is Coronavirus 19 (Cov-19).

The recent outbreaks in Asia, South America and Europe have infected millions but so far serious sickness has been confined to those with underlying health problems. This Coronavirus has been confirmed in several people across the UK. A swab taken from an individual in Banbury was found to contain the Coronavirus. This is the third case in England. Hampshire is in National Lockdown: Stay at Home  During the recent outbreaks of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), Hampshire County Council has put emergency plans into force.

The vehicle registration scheme for access to HWRCs is live

The vehicle registration scheme for access to Hampshire Wildlife Trust’s (HWT) Hampshire and Isle of Wight reserves is now live. Visitors to HWT’s 36 reserves in Hampshire and Isle of Wight will soon need to use the free vehicle registration scheme (VRS) online, which was successfully launched at Haulashore Woods reserve in north west Hampshire last week, before they will continue to enjoy free access. Closure of several free car parks in Hampshire has led to a restructuring of the county council's access arrangements to its Highways and Waterway related sites, including the Bordon Local History Centre.

A vehicle registration scheme for free access is now in place at www. hants. gov. uk/whswlocal. Hampshire County Council is making it easier for residents to visit its Wild Water Recreation Centres across Hampshire. A new vehicle registration scheme has been launched, meaning the county’s seven HWRCs – at Highbridge, Greater So. The vehicle registration scheme for access to HWRCs is now live.  Hampshire residents must register their vehicles online before their next visit for continued free access to HWRCs.

Hampshire residents will soon need to register their vehicles online before visiting an HWRC or risk paying daily charges from 1 January 2017. The vehicle registration scheme for access to Hampshire’s 10 HWRCs is live. Simply use the red markings as a guide and fill your bag. Waste from sites must be disposed of correctly. Sites have a container for certain waste and this should be disposed of accordingly (see below). Here is the political make up of the Council for East Hampshire District Council.

Registration by phone

Registration for Libyan residents living abroad has now officially opened, with the Registrar General's office in Tripoli opening its doors to the public. From today, Libya's citizens living abroad will be able to register to vote and choose their new representatives at the ballot box. We are now opening our registration lines to accept registrations from residents without access to the Internet.

Registration for myEbola, the UK Government secure online service for returning travellers who have been in an area with Ebola, is now open through the registration page. After registering online, residents will need to phone their council to finalise their new address and arrange collection of their cards. Please note that you will need your National Insurance number and a current address to register. From today you and your family can register by phone, if you prefer.

Information on our 26household waste recycling centres in Hampshire

Household waste recycling centres (HWRCs) are one of the best ways to dispose of your household waste.  They have a huge capacity, making them ideal for large items that cannot be easily managed by your regular collections service. They also accept a number of different materials, from large or bulky items, to garden waste and even some hazardous/special waste. Hampshire County Council provide a free household waste recycling service for Hampshire residents. This service is delivered by our contractor Veolia Environmental Services at a network of 26 centres across Hampshire.

This service is for households in the county only  not businesses and you must be over 18 to use it. Waste recycling centres are your one-stop-shop for all your household waste recycling needs. These centres accept a range of waste types, including bulky items that cannot be managed by your regular collections service. The Hampshire Household Waste Recycling Centres opened in December 2009. They were established so residents could use an alternative to landfill and recycle more of the waste they generate at home.

Opening hours

The Sheepwash Hollow Waste Receptacle is located on Sheepwash Lane behind The Belfry and Ye Old Swan'''Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times when outside of vehicles. You may be asked to remove a dog from the site if it becomes a nuisance to other visitors. In early 2012 the facility was closed for construction, with demolition works completed by early-mid May. The new West Terrace HWRC was officially opened on Friday 26 June.

Address

I had to write you that small message to give many thanks once again just for your mind-blowing suggestions you have shared on this website. It's always incredibly generous with people like you to share openly all most people would've sold as an e-book to generate some bucks on their own, but you might have tried it in order to help other people keep with a thing that is important way too. The best way to learn the rest is usually to say thanks to you for the detailed advice and then want you the best in such a challenging work.

What can I recycle?

We're delighted to tell you that while we've been stockpiling newspapers, magazines, junk mail, computer paper, envelopes (including windowed envelopes), catalogues and directories, paper bags and similar types of fibrous waste paper and cardboard over the last few months in anticipation of our move to larger premises - and all those other bits of rubbish you can't recycle like plastic bottles and tins that have been cluttering up your bins of late - we're now able to take them all.

Sorting through your recycling bin, you find a crumpled up bit of paper that looks like it’s from a magazine. You hold it up to the light and see there’s writing on it. But what can you do with this old piece of printed paper? Can you recycle it? What should I do with paper I've used for something else? Here we'll give you some ideas on what you can do with print out if you're in the UK.

What CAN'T you recycle?. Coffee cups with plastic lining, meat trays, cutlery, polystyrene clamshells, yogurt and cottage cheese tubs, frozen food containers, waxed cardboard boxes (detergent boxes), pizza boxes. What can't I recycle?.  Yes please - plastic bags―even those bags from your local supermarket, gift wrap (place in paper bin) and wax coated cardboard such as pizza boxes or frozen food boxes. What can I recycle?. Yes please - newspapers, magazines, junk mail, computer paper, envelopes (including windowed envelopes), catalogues and directories, paper bags.

Will you start taking different types of recycling?

Recycling has always been a prominent feature in the life of the United Kingdom. Local Authorities across the country have been collecting recyclable materials for years with residents taking on board the message that these items should be placed in their recycling bins, rather than in their household waste disposal units. However, as technology advances and attitudes change, so do the recycling options available to local councils. Materials which used to be collected for recycling, such as tins and glass bottles, are less in demand by companies due to machines being unable to tell between food-grade and non food-grade containers.

This means that recycled products need to be perfect, often being sorted at an earlier stage which increases time spent on collection routes and reduces the cost-efficiency of recycling. Current rules state that dry mixed recycling can include card, paper and paper based packaging such as newspapers, magazines and junk mail. The materials can also include cardboard boxes and plastic packaging such as carrier bags, cereal packets and crisps tubs. It cannot contain food or drink cartons, plastic carrier bags, drinks containers, yoghurt pots or any type of hard plastic packaging.

Once familiar, the four different coloured bins can become a routine part of your household routine. You probably already know what you can and cannot recycle. But did you know that only around 40% of plastic is recycled? Recycling facilities are able to use more types of plastic, making the process of recycling these materials more efficient and cost effective. There is a charge to recycle your household waste. It is important to make sure that as much of the waste you put out for collection can actually be recycled by the Household Waste Recycling Service because it does cost the Council money to dispose of any waste which it cannot collect.

Most of what you can recycle is broken down by type and then sold for different purposes. The bigger items are either not recycled or collected separately. If you have large metal items for example, we can arrange for these to be collected and if they are suitable, sent for reuse. The new Hillsborough Waste Recovery Centre is open to the public every day except Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day. If your household waste is not collected because it's put out for collection too early, you can take it to your nearest Household Waste Recycling Centre in Hampshire.

Paper

Be a hero to your local dump/recycling station and collect some paper waste down the road (or around the corner). On average you'll find that three out of every four people in your neighborhood have a few boxes or bags of paper waste they're looking get rid of. One tip - get yourself a folder (you know, one those nice large green ones) and use that to carry your finds back home with you. This way your passengers don't get covered in paper bits and pieces if the windows are down.

After the great paper squeeze, what’s left? Lots of paper to go around and think about. This is a back to basics A-Z for all your paper requirements – so if you already know about pulp, rag and wood fibers, skip ahead to P for envelopes. It's also a journey that will help you choose between toilet and printing paper through to copy machine and general fax paper. E-mailed PDFs may be convenient but they don't have the same impact as old-fashioned hard copies.

Cardboard

Cardboard makes use of existing infrastructure, keeping it out of landfill, and can be reused and recycled - so not only is it an innovative way to treasure-hunt, it is also a cost effective packaging option for businesses too. Cardboard represents an entire industry waiting to be tapped into if you know where to look. The next time you throw something away, check to see if it has already been recycled. If your packaging uses any of the above materials, then it has probably been recycled before.

That cereal box destined for landfill may be my lunch box tomorrow - and the same goes for a greetings card or kitchen towel. Okay, so we're not really getting into this one. But a quick google search of 'cardboard packaging'will bring up some pretty amazing stuff. Ever wondered how cereal packets are made? Yep, the same way as cardboard boxes! See also: Why should you care about cardboard packaging? (Packaging Digest).

Yep, pretty much everywhere. Cardboard is easily accessible, pretty cheap, and if you have a decent pair of scissors and a steady hand, you can make an array of beautiful stuff.  Also check out this book for more ideas: The Easy Upcycled Cardboard Projects. Happy, happy, happy. That is the life I want to live. Peace and joy and no fiddly bits. A world of cardboard boxes. Or even better an All Cardboard World.

Every need catered for. Which is why I think this cardboard speaker is just perfect. My friends give me all kinds of paper, and I love it. I use newspaper, magazines, and junk mail to cover my mouse pad, the top of my computer, the bottom of my filing cabinet (if you have cats or a dog you know why), and file folders. There are 26 household waste recycling centres in Hampshire, which are open seven days a week to help you recycle your bulky waste.

Plastic bottles

This year we have again set ourselves a very ambitious target – a 15% recovery rate across our plastic bottle sell-back scheme. We’re well on track to hit this, and after last year’s challenging conditions, it shows the continued resilience of our retailers and consumers. In 2017/18, over 473 million plastic bottles were returned and recycled through our scheme. This equates to more than 957 tonnes of PET plastic recovered (an increase of 7%). Our sell-back rates from dispensing machines also increased again, following the 1p charge on plastic bags in the UK announced in March 2018, with an average 5% collected nationally.

These are not the bottles we want, but they are a resource to be harnessed. Why? Because they have the potential to be made into new plastic bottles for re-use - in place of using oil and gas to manufacture new bottles. Make no bones about it - plastic bottles are essential, but with an ever-increasing global population and a raft of new product innovations (i. e not just milk and Coca Cola), there is a growing demand on raw capacity.

Tins and cans

Australian Tin collection is one of the leading sellers of antique and collectable tin packaging.  As well as being involved in the tin hunting industry for over 20 years, our staff have vast knowledge of the history of collecting tins and cans in Australia. We provide professional advice on all items we sell to ensure you are fully informed of your purchase prior to collecting or purchasing from us. I have been in the trade of metal detector hobby for 14 years now and have seen many changes in both technology and people attitudes towards this pastime.

 I also hold a collection of  food tins including pet food tins, drinks cans, sweet and biscuit tins. We buy lots of products in cans and tins, particularly pet food tins and drinks cans. They’re reusable and recyclable too which is good for the environment. But how many times do you just throw these things away?. Unlike glass bottles which are recycled by the council, food tins – sweet tins, biscuit tins and drinks cans are either thrown away or go into landfill where they add to the problem of toxic waste.

Aerosols

I'm not a big consumer but I know aerosols and other pressurised containers can be tricky to recycle - they need to be cleaned before being taken to a recycling centre. I've also read that the worst ones are, once again, deodorant, hairspray and air fresheners. The type of plastic used in these products is called Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) and so you would think that it has a long recycling life like any other plastic but this is not the case.

It only takes one cleaning with the wrong product for it to be unusable for recycling. The solution? Keep your empty cans and contact your local authority about how best to dispose of them. I'm a big fan of aerosols, I actually have hundreds of them dotted around the house. I'm not sure if it's considered normal to have that many aerosols, but I don't care. They come in all shapes and sizes - nail polish remover, spray deodorant and even hair spray - and they can be used for anything.

Let's take deodorant as an example in this case. You sweat in different ways at different times; sometimes you're not covered in it from head to toe and you smell quite fresh. Other times you've been running around chasing after your kids and taking on the world so you're pretty stinky but there's no time to seek out a bath. Some may be considered food, such as cream and oil but I would not eat them.

Too much recycling?

The amount of recycling we collect is rising, with our dry recycling collections having increased by more than 30% in the last 4 years. We’re doing all we can to make it as easy as possible to recycle in your home but the best result comes from you separating what you put in your recycling and waste bins. Have you ever been to a household waste recycling centre? Chances are you have, since there are currently over 230 across England. If you have too much rubbish a good alternative is skip hire, we recommend UK Skip Hire.

 That's larger than 10 football pitches and growing year on year as the Government encourages everyone to increase their recycling rate. We are keen to increase our recycling rates and want as many people as possible to include any dry recyclables in with their black bin. However, we understand there are some items that aren’t suitable and you might be wondering if you can recycle other materials. We serve a large part of the British population and have the facilities to recycle almost any type of waste, but we are always striving to do more.

We have therefore developed our new recycling campaign called 'All About Recycling'. We want you to recycle as much as possible. Our collection teams will always collect extra dry recycling which can be placed in a cardboard box or clear sack next to your black bin. It does not need to go out the night before. We want you to recycle as much as you can. Our collection teams will always collect extra dry recycling which can be placed in a cardboard box or clear sack next to your black bin.

Textile banks

The Salvos'textiles banks which were closed from September with the emergency declaration have been reopened at all sites due to the lifting of the pandemic lockdown on 12 December 2009. Buildings such as schools and hospitals may delay or suspend opening due to fewer staff being available; however, The Salvation Army will remain open as normal. The Salvation Army has reopened its textile banks following their closure during the pandemic lockdown. The lockdowns were designed to help stop the spread of the virus by stopping people from leaving their houses and it was deemed unsafe to have staff collecting items from properties because of the risk of contamination.

The Salvation Army's textile bank is open for business. The government shut down the charitable organization's centers to stop the spread of the plague, but with that risk mostly gone, they're back in business as usual. The Salvation Army 's textile banks reopened on Thursday, July 30, giving communities another chance to improve their emergency preparedness. The Salvation Army has reopened its textile banks nationwide following their temporary closure due to concerns over swine flu.

The Salvation Army's textile bank in Christchurch has reopened following the end of the pandemic lockdown. They are not pure fat. I believe fat doesn’t turn into liquid until it reaches 50 degrees C, so could get hot enough to liquefy if you heated up a aerosol can in a fire (say). The contents are certainly miscible with the propellent gases (propane or nitrous oxide at low temps), so they will mix up together in a can and leave the can for your lungs to inhale.

Coronavirus - changes to household waste recycling centres

Household waste recycling centres (HWRCs) have introduced changes to their opening hours. The HWRCs will now close for about two weeks during the summer period for essential maintenance work. Things won't be changing for your local HWRC in Whiteley, or for the HWRC at Burghclere in Newbury, as these centres are owned by New Forest District Council and Test Valley Borough Council, respectively. So far no other centres across Hampshire have been identified as needing scheduled maintenance and all other HWRCs will continue to operate as normal unless they are closed during holidays.

For further information or if you want to know whether your local centre is taking part in this trial, please contact us on Hampshire List (hampshire-list.co.uk) or email. As part of the council’s programme of modernisation, it has been necessary to close one of the household waste recycling centres at Basing View. This is because the site has been affected by a widespread contamination caused by a highly infectious and contagious virus known as Coronavirus. The virus is not spread person to person or by touch, but can be transferred through airborne particles, for example via dust.

Members of the public in Hampshire will notice changes to their household waste recycling centres in the New Year. This is to allow for additional services including glass and plastic bottle recycling. We offer an integrated waste, recycling and refuse collection service for all households across Hampshire. This service is provided by Veolia Environmental Services on our behalf  For more information visit: hampshire-list.co.uk. Hampshire County Council is responsible for the household waste recycling centre in Basingstoke.

Apply for a commercial vehicle permit (vans and trailers)

If you require a van or trailer for your business, you can apply for a permit from the Council at the Household Waste Recycling Centre in Derby Road, Worthing. Please note; your vehicle must be clean, free from waste and less than 7. 5 tonnes. Customers may also make use of the recycling centre without a van or trailer if they are collecting small amounts of household waste. On this page you will find information about how to get a commercial vehicle permit which will allow you to dispose of your household waste at the Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC).

You will also find information if you are selling a vehicle. We are expanding the Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC) scheme to include horse boxes, commercial vehicles and works trailers. This means that if you have one of these vehicles, you don’t need a £36 annual permit to use the HWRCs. If you live in the London Borough of Greenwich or in south east London and want to apply for a commercial vehicle permit please contact us on telephone number Hampshire List (hampshire-list.co.uk), rather than using the on-line form below.

Important

A month on from the Grenfell Tower fire, and the Household Waste and Recycling Centre (HWRC) at Millbrook remains open with COVID safety measures in place. This has been a very difficult time for residents of the Lancaster West Estate and surrounding areas, since the fire on June 14th. Residents have been provided with bags of bedding and clothing, as well as other essentials like toiletries since the blaze occurred. However, residents who put out their own rubbish for collection have also been given the opportunity to deposit their unwanted items at the HWRC (residents are requested to keep their own bags away from where they've deposited donated items).

The Household Waste and Recycling Centre (HWRC) at Millbrook remains open with COVID safety measures in place. Residents are reminded these measures are in addition to the regular security, operating and lighting arrangements already in place at HWRCs. The Household Waste and Recycling Centre (HWRC) at Millbrook remains open with COVID safety measures in place. For further information please continue to monitor the council website, social media channels or call 101. Following an incident on 7th June, involving toxic fumes and COVIC biohazard disposal procedures, the Household Waste and Recycling Centre (HWRC) at Millbrook remains open with COVID safety measures in place.
