Some important new items to be added to list of waste you can take to tip

Currently people can only take general and garden waste to Radcliffe Recycling Centre

Wood, rubble, and scrap metal are set to be accepted at the tip in Radcliffe from this weekend.

From Saturday, the items can taken to the household waste recycling centre in Cemetery Road. Currently, only general waste and garden waste are accepted at the centre.

There will still be social distancing measures in place and visitors must attend on the days set aside depending on whether their car registration plate is an odd or even number.

Councillor Alan Quinn, cabinet member for the environment at Bury Council, said: “So far the people of Bury have acted very responsibly and there have been few problems reported at the recycling centres, which is why they can now take extra household waste in a safe manner as we gradually come out from lockdown.

“But we have not returned to normal yet, and restrictions are still in place in the meantime. Visitors should continue to follow the rules on when to go and what to take.”
