PREPARATIONS are being made to open household recycling centres in Mochdre and Abergele.

Conwy County Borough Council said they would operate with an appointment system in place and ‘strict’ social distancing measures.

On Friday, May 8, First Minister Mark Drakeford said a series of small adjustments were being made to the lockdown regulations in Wales.

This included enabling local authorities to begin the process of planning how to safely reopen libraries and municipal recycling centres.

Cllr Greg Robbins, cabinet member for environment and transportation at the council, said: “We are working closely with Bryson Recycling, who run the sites for us, to make sure that staff and the public can be safe when we reopen.”

“So that we can make sure we protect people with social distancing measures, things will be somewhat different from normal and access to the sites will be by appointment only.

Anyone arriving without an appointment will be turned away.”

More information will be given on how to book an appointment once the opening date has been finalised.

It is hoped the date will be in late May.
