THE NEW winter operating hours for Buckinghamshire recycling centres are set to kick in.
All nine recycling centres in the county will switch to reduced hours because of a low number of visits in the evenings after 4pm.
From Saturday October 1, visitors wishing to recycle and dispose of items at the sites can do so between the new hours.
Buckinghamshire Council’s Cabinet Member for Environment and Climate Change Gareth Williams said: "Once again as the evenings get darker and our sites get quieter, we are switching to our usual winter hours.

“From 1 October, we will be open from 9am to 4pm, continuing to offer a comprehensive service for residents.
“You don’t need to book a slot to visit the centres, but I recommend that you check our live webcams before setting off to see if the site is busy before you travel.“
The household recycling centres in Amersham, Aston Clinton, Beaconsfield, Buckingham, High Wycombe and Langley are open every day.
Aylesbury (Rabans Lane), Burnham and Chesham sites operate five days a week, and are closed on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Visitors are reminded to always bring proof of address with them as only Bucks Council taxpayers can use the sites.
Slough Borough Council residents are allowed to use Langley and Burnham sites only, the Council said.
