OPENING hours at Punchbowl Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC) near Crediton will be as normal as possible while maintenance work takes place during November and December.

During this period, some areas of the Recycling Centre will need to be closed off to site users and containers will be re-positioned to the garden waste bay.

This will mean that throughout the works customers wishing to dispose of garden waste will need to use a container via steps.

If you would prefer to deposit your garden waste on the ground, your nearest alternative Recycling Centre is Exton Road HWRC, Marsh Barton, Exeter.

Devon County Council apologise for any inconvenience caused during the works.

The Exton Road Recycling Centre (EX2 8LX) will be open from Monday to Friday from 9am to 4.30pm and on Saturdays and Sundays from 10am to 4.30pm.

Alternatively, telephone the Customer Service Centre on 0345 155 1010.
