The opening hours to Broadford’s Resource Recovery Centre, RRC, have been cut back to two days – Friday and Saturday.
Mitchell Shire Council has reviewed the days and operating hours of all its RRCs, following the new Seymour site opening on May 29.
All sites will now have the same hours of operation, 10am to 4pm, to reduce confusion, but be open on varying days.
The Seymour RRC will open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, from 10am to 4pm.
Broadford RRC’s operating hours are now Friday and Saturday, from 10am to 4pm.
Previously it was operational 10am to 4pm, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Mitchell Shire Council chief executive Brett Luxford said prior to 2018, the Broadford site was open three days a week, from 12pm to 4pm.
“These hours were extended in 2018 following the closure of the former Seymour RCC to provide an additional waste disposal option for residents while the new facility was constructed,” he said.
All RRC’s are now closed on Wednesdays to enable staff to attend mandatory training sessions and meetings.
They will also remain closed on days of total fire ban and code red days, as well as Christmas Day, New Year’s Day and Good Friday.
