Are you planning to do some jobs around the house this bank holiday weekend? If you are, you might be wondering when you can take your extra rubbish to a tip in Worcester.
As with supermarkets, sometimes the recycling centres in Worcester slightly alter their opening times during a bank holiday weekend.
To help you out, here are the opening times for the Bilford Road (Worcester East) and Hallow Road (Worcester West) recycling centres.
Over 12 months, we have made significant strides forward with improvements on the county’s roads and paths.

We’ve installed new crossings, improved canal towpaths, constructed new paths and much more.
