  • Only a limited number of residents will be allowed on site at any one time.
  • A ‘supermarket style’ system will be implemented, with a ‘one out, one in’ access policy.
  • No assistance will be provided on site so only load items you can unload yourself.
  • No pedestrian access onto site will be allowed
  • No soil improver / compost sales.
  • No reuse charity drop off points.
  • Alternate parking spaces / bays will be blocked off.
  • Access to each skip would be by one resident at a time.
  • We will not accept TEXTILES as the reprocessor is unavailable due to COVID 19.
  • The Commercial Vehicle and Trailer Permit scheme will remain in operation.
    
    
• We are expecting the sites to become very busy and we would like to ask residents to:
• Visit this page of the website for more information on restrictions BEFORE you travel and to check opening times
• Keep to the 2 metre distancing rules AT ALL TIMES
• Ideally come alone and wear gloves and suitable footwear (no open toe sandals)
• Stay in your vehicle while queuing to aid with social distancing and wait to be directed to a parking bay by staff.
• Please be patient. Remember that going to HRCs will be different from the way the system operated before lockdown, that safety is paramount and that it will be a while before social distancing restrictions are lifted.
  
  
• Please act responsibly towards other visitors and staff:
• Severn Waste Services will not tolerate any form of abusive behaviour towards its staff and will take action against offenders
• If you do not comply with social distancing guidance, you will be asked to leave the site and the site may have to close temporarily.
