The reopening follows the completion of significant infrastructure work at the site, including the installation of a fire suppression system. Residents will be able to recycle most items previously accepted, with the exception of garden waste.
The centre, managed by Veolia, will operate on a slightly reduced footprint initially, as construction continues elsewhere at the Waldo Road depot. Details regarding the booking system and its launch will be announced shortly.
“"A key part of our plan to make Bromley even cleaner and greener is the once-in-a-generation works at Waldo Road Depot - making sure we can dispose of residents’ waste in as effective a way as possible. With the news that the Reuse and Recycle Centre will be open shortly now confirmed, I’m delighted that residents will be able to once again use this important site. I’d like to thank residents for their patience with us as we have carried out these vital works."
Much of the construction work has taken place away from the centre itself, meaning minimal visible changes for residents. The land is being utilised to support waste collections, including a temporary paper storage barn.
