What does COVID-19 mean for household waste recycling centre (HWRC) operations?

Stuart Hayward-Higham, Technical Development Director at SUEZ recycling and recovery UK takes a look at the guidance and the constraints
14 Apr 2020

In this document Stuart Hayward-Higham seeks to set out in a clear and structured way, the considerations that SUEZ believes are necessary with regard to the regulatory conditions around HWRC opening, as well as some of the practical issues of self-distancing when applied to HWRC layout and operation.

The ideas are clearly separated into the core issues of:

  • Can service uses come to HWRCs and yet still comply with current Covid-19 legislation?
  • Can an HWRC, if opened, be operated in a manner consistent with the regulations and restrictions, government guidance and in a safe manner?
  • Social distancing - offsite.
