Somerset Waste Partnership (SWP) plans to keep the county's 16 recycling sites, including the one in Cheddar, open on standard winter hours for essential use during the latest Covid-19 national lockdown.
Government guidance has clarified that people can visit recycling sites as they are an essential service.
SWP is asking people to only visit sites if the trip is really necessary, for example because waste cannot be safely kept home or disposed of through kerbside recycling and rubbish collections.
Recycling sites already have measures in place to protect the public and staff, including:
- Do not visit if you have Covid symptoms or have been asked to shield
- Maintain social distance
- Wear gloves and consider wearing a mask
- Maximum two people per vehicle from the same household
- Site staff cannot assist with unloading
- Vehicle and trailer permits continue
