The Waste Management Team at Hull City Council together with the council’s waste management contractors, Waste Recycling Group, is getting ready to launch its fourth household waste recycling centre in the city next week.
The Sutton Fields Centre, located on Amsterdam Road on Sutton Fields Industrial Estate, will allow residents to easily recycle and dispose of everything from household waste to engine and cooking oil, garden soil and rubble, wood and cardboard to shoes and handbags.
The Sutton Fields Centre will open from Tuesday 22nd July and join the other centres on Wiltshire Road, Burma Drive and Wilmington, which are extremely popular with residents across the city.
The Sutton Fields Centre is based on the success of the state of the art, under cover facilities at Burma Drive and Wiltshire Road and will have a new team of enthusiastic staff to help.
Doug Sharp, Waste Development Team Leader at Hull City Council said:
“Sutton Fields household waste recycling centre adds to our portfolio of sites which spread across the city making it easier for residents to dispose and recycle their waste correctly.
“Making recycling and waste disposal easier for residents helps us work towards our recycling targets which will benefit the whole city.”
The site will be officially opened by Hull City Council later in the summer.
The site will open to the public at 8.00am on Tuesday, and like the other sites in the City will be open seven days a week, 8am to 6pm.
