Cabinet received a report on the outcome of the consultation on proposals to change opening hours and days at Household Waste Recycling Centres across Lancashire. It was noted that, following consideration of the consultation responses, proposals relating to Skelmersdale recycling centre had been changed to keep it open seven days a week, and additionally it was confirmed that all recycling centres would open on Bank Holidays even if a facility's normal closure day was Monday.

  i.  the opening hours of all recycling centres be changed to 9am – 5pm all year round.

  ii.  Opening days at six of the council's 15 household waste recycling centres, as set out in the report, are changed to five days per week

  iii.  the Waste service takes all necessary steps to implement the changes with a targeted implementation date of 1 October 2019.
