Shropshire Recycling Centres

This just in from Shropshire Council!

Recycling centre booking system

HRC new

From Monday 17 February:

People visiting one of our five recycling centres by CAR will no longer need to book in advance – but may be asked to show proof that they live in Shropshire.

People visiting with a VAN or TRAILER will still need to book a slot, and must also show proof of residency when they arrive.

This change is being introduced following feedback from residents, and to make it as easy as possible for Shropshire residents to use the centres.

Book to visit with a van or trailer

A41 at Tern Hill to close for surface repairs

The A41 at Tern Hill will be closed for surface repairs from 9.30am to 4pm on Monday 9 and Tuesday 10 December 2024.

During the closures a signed diversion will be place – and access/egress for properties  and businesses within the closure will be maintained when safe to do so. Depending on their vehicle type, road users may be able to choose an alternative diversion route.

People are asked not to park on the road during the day whilst the work is in progress.

All planned roadworks are subject to change due to weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances. Any changes will be displayed on the yellow advanced warning signs.

During the work, access to the works area will be restricted to:

  • Local residents who live and reside within the road closure
  • Businesses located within the closure (if applicable)
  • Pedestrians, dismounted cyclists and equestrians
  • Emergency vehicles
