This just in from Shropshire Council!
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.
The ClipCLOP Appeal is pleased to announce some progress with the above, and you can read the details here
