Council officials say that booked slots will mean an end to the queues that can build up under the open access system
Cutting opening hours at West Lothian’s recycling centre and making residents book their visits in advance will actually improve the service for people, it has been claimed.
In the past that problem has been so bad that police have had to attend at Oakbank in Livingston because of traffic jams as people queued to use the centre during the holidays. From September Linlithgow’s CRC in Braehead Road will only be open on a Tuesday from 10am to 6pm,a Saturday from 10am to 2pm and a Sunday from 2pm to 6pm.
Graeme Struthers, a depute chief executive and lead officer for the LAC said “A change to the booking system gives people greater certainty. You can book and therefore get that slot.” It will stress the need for residents to check waste handling licences from traders who offer disposal services. If they don’t and their waste if fly-tipped they could be on the hook for a fine along side the rogue trader.
As weekends are the most popular days to visit, all five CRCs will be open every Saturday and Sunday.
