RECYCLERS who use the banks at Booths at Oubas Hill in Ulverston are being reminded that there will be no facilities there after 23 September due to construction work.
The site currently used to house recycling banks is to be part of a new restaurant with drive-through, which was given planning permission in June.
Residents are being reminded that there are two other recycling sites in Ulverston – at the leisure centre in Priory Road and the Household Waste Recycling Centre in Morecambe Road.
The HWRC in Morecambe Road, run by Cumbria County Council, is open seven days a week 8am to 6pm while the site at the leisure centre in Priory Road is open 9.30am-9.30pm Monday to Thursday, 9.30am-8pm on Fridays, 10am-4pm on Saturdays and 10.30am-6pm on Sundays.
