Changes at Household Waste Recycling Centres

Since new arrangements came into play at the beginning of this month the site at Leigh Marshes is now CLOSED on Wednesdays and the Stock Road site CLOSED on Thursdays.

In addition, the Monday to Friday opening hours of both sites have also changed.

Both sites now open at 9am from Mondays to Fridays rather than the previous 8am start, but on Saturdays and Sundays both Leigh Marshes and Stock Road will continue to open at 8am.

The closing times have not been altered - they continue to be 4pm from 1st November to 31st January and 5pm from 1st February to 31st October. There will no longer be a late night opening at either site on Tuesdays between 1st May and 31st August.

More information on these new opening hours, and arrangements over public and bank holiday periods, can be found at www.southend.gov.uk/hwrc or by calling 01702 215006.
