- They have increased the number of visits you can make to 2 visits in 7 days (it used to be 1 in 7 days) to help those doing a big clear-out.
- Many people have said they prefer making a booking because they don’t have to wait in a queue to get in, it’s not so crowded when they are there and their overall journey is quicker.
- If you don’t have the internet, call the Council Contact Centre on 0345 045 5200 and they will make a booking for you.
