Chesterfield waste recycling centre closes for 'essential' work – when will it reopen?
A recycling centre in Chesterfield has closed its doors today to allow for maintenance work.
Stonegravels Household Waste Recycling Centre in Chesterfield will be closed to the public from today (Monday, December 8) until Friday (December 12).
This is to allow for ‘essential’ resurfacing work set to take place to keep the site safe for users.
Work has been planned during the week to minimise disruption to residents by avoiding closure during the weekends which are the busiest periods.
The site will re-open on Saturday, December 13 on completion of resurfacing work.
Residents are urged to use alternative sites while works are underway – with the closest alternative sites located in Bolsover and Northwood near Darley Dale.
Opening hours at the Bolsover centre will be extended to 8.30am till 6pm while the Stonegravels site is closed.
Councillor Carol Wood, Derbyshire County Council’s cabinet member for net zero and environment, said: “We need to carry out this essential work to maintain safety standards at our household waste recycling centre in Stonegravels.
“We’ll do all we can to get the work done quickly and reopen as soon as possible but please plan ahead and if at all possible take your waste to Stonegravels before December 8.
“We’ll be extending opening hours at our Bolsover site to help accommodate extra visitors while Stonegravels is closed and thank residents for bearing with us while we carry out this work.”
