Essential maintenance at the Waldo Road reuse and recycling centre means that the facility will be closed on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Residents are being asked to postpone their trips to Waldo Road until next week, Monday 4 March, when the site will re-open again following the completion of work, including a repair to a collapsed drain on an approach road within the site. The four day closure is needed to allow time for concrete around the repairs to properly cure. The reuse and recycling centre in Churchfields Road in Beckenham remains open as normal, which is expected to be busier than normal whilst the Waldo Road site is closed.
Councillor Will Rowlands, Executive Councillor for Environment said, “Recycling and waste collections across the borough are being prioritised, with waste collection vehicles using Waldo Road to access the waste transfer station, where all the borough’s waste is initially taken to. The drain collapse has occurred on a road used by the waste collection vehicles, with these vehicles having to use Waldo Road whilst repairs are made, with the reuse and recycling centre closed during this period.”
Following the successful outcome of the repair work, the Waldo Road reuse and recycling centre is anticipated to re-open again on Monday 4 March as normal. Visitors are advised to plan their journey, using the webcams to gauge how busy the site is, especially given it is expected the site will be busier than usual when it re-opens.
