From 1 April to 30 September all sites will be operating for the longer summer opening hours. March, Milton, and Whittlesey will operate Sunday opening hours on Good Friday (2 April) and Easter Monday (5 April). Site opening hours are published here.

This is the first Easter in which Cambridgeshire’s recycling centres have been operated with COVID measures in place. (Last year the sites were temporarily closed over Easter). To help manage the anticipated high demand residents are being asked to sort materials in advance and abide by the one booking per week limit.

• Two metre social distancing is in place at all sites.
• The booking system for vehicles requiring e-permits remains in place at all sites. 
• Advance booking is still required at Alconbury, Bluntisham, Milton, St Neots and Thriplow (Booking system for Household Recycling Centres – Cambridgeshire County Council) Extra booking slots have been added for each 15 minute period.
• Temporary yellow signage remains in place at Alconbury, Bluntisham, Milton, St Neots, Thriplow and Witchford advising of the booking system where this is in place, and requesting residents do not queue on the public highways outside the sites.

Please do not turn up at a recycling centre which requires a booking if you have not booked in advance. And if you have booked in advance and no longer need your booking, please cancel it to free the space for someone else.

At Witchford the council hopes to remove the traffic light controls for the four day Bank Holiday weekend. However this will depend on today’s asphalting works going according to plan to ensure the road surface is fit for traffic.
