A number of Oscott residents have now contacted me asking when is the best ( less busy time) to use the Holford Drive Recycling Centre.
I hope the information below helps.
Household Recycling Centres (HRCs) –
Peak use times
As
the summer nears and the weather improves, Birmingham residents are being
reminded of the options available when it comes to disposing of garden waste.
Due
to central government funding cuts, the city council has introduced a green
recycling, chargeable service for 2014, which started in February 2014.
The
annual subscription for is £35 (or £33 if booked online). Alternatives include
home composting or visiting one of the city’s five household recycling centres
(HRCs).
Anyone
who decides to use one of the HRCs is being reminded that the sites do
experience peaks in visit numbers, so the council is issuing guidance to people
planning to visit one of the centres.
Generally,
the peak periods are:
·
Between 10am and 3pm weekdays
·
Saturday to Monday are the busiest days
·
After 9am on weekends
Therefore,
the best times to visit the HRCs are:
·
Tuesday
to Thursday
·
Before
10am and after 3pm on weekdays
An
alternative is home composting – which turns waste into
nutrients for gardens and can help reduce climate change. This is an effective
and cheap way to get rid of garden waste.
Residents can find out about the different type of
compost bins available and the price and delivery charge at www.getcomposting.com.
