Martin Benson, recycling sites manager for Veolia, South Downs explains:
 
“We want to provide the best possible service to all our customers and changing to summer opening times will maximise opportunities for people to use the sites. Generally the Household Waste Recycling Sites are less busy in the middle of the week rather than at weekends so residents may prefer to visit on these quieter days”.   
 
Summer opening times are being implemented to allow residents to make more use of the sites during the longer daylight hours.  Veolia aims to be as consistent as possible and operate the same hours at each of our sites, we would urge people to visit our website at www.veolia.co.uk/southdowns/recycling-sites or call 01273 511324 to see what summer hours their local site will be operating.
