KEIGHLEY’S household waste recycling centre has reverted to its normal opening hours.

The Royd Ings Avenue site – which with other centres had been closed initially during lockdown – was latterly open evenings-only weekdays, as well as at weekends.

Now hours have returned to 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm on Saturdays and 9am to 4pm on Sundays.

Councillor Sarah Ferriby, Bradford Council’s executive member for healthy people and places, said: “The reopening of the household waste recycling centres has proved extremely popular with our residents. It is great that we are able to gradually return to business as usual, without increasing the risk to health of our residents and staff.”

Cars with trailers and vans with domestic waste are now able to use sites, provided they have the relevant permit.

The bulky waste service is also operating. There is a small charge which people can book and pay for over the phone or through the council website.

Items that will be collected include furniture, beds, bikes, carpets, mattresses, garden furniture, mirrors, central heating boilers and bags of garden waste.

The site at Sugden End, Cross Roads, remains closed.
