Berkhamsted Recycling Centre reopened on Sunday, December 8, following months of improvement works.
The 10 weeks of work involved clearing the contents of the site and making improvements to increase its capacity. The centre now features a new layout with a significantly increased number of recycling containers, more than twice the previous number of parking spaces, and a new welfare cabin for the team on site.
Councillor Eric Buckmaster, executive member for the environment at Hertfordshire County Council, said: “The improvements to Berkhamsted Recycling Centre will provide residents with a more efficient way to recycle, while the increase in parking capacity ensures a greater number of people can use it at any one time and reduces queuing.
“This has been an important infrastructure project for the county, which reflects our vision for a cleaner, greener, healthier Hertfordshire.
“The changes at Berkhamsted form part of a £50million investment in waste-related projects across the county, supporting our ambition to send zero waste to landfill by 2030.”
