Cursiter recycling centre reopens after clearup

Orkney Islands Council is advising Cursiter Household Waste and Recycling Centre (HWRC) is will be open as normal from Monday 6 September.

The facility – which is open for recyclable materials only – was temporarily closed earlier this week (Monday 30 August) due to the need to clear a large amount of rubbish which had been dumped there.

Lorna Richardson, OIC Strategic Policy and Projects Manager, said: "We thank people who value this facility for their patience during the closure of Cursiter while we cleared the sizeable amount of rubbish left there - and would again urge folk to use the site appropriately and only use it for recyclable materials, to prevent a repeat of this week's closure."
