Tip Update and Bins!

• According to our Kent County Councillor Mike Whiting, "18 HWRCs reopened on 15 May with a booking system to make sure there could be social distancing on site for the safety of both visitors and staff. 20,000 slots were available a week, this has now risen to 23,000 slots and will soon increase to 30,000 as opening hours are extended. You can book up to 9 days in advance but from 08 July this booking window should expand to 4 weeks and the limit of one visit per 4 week period increase to two. "Demand for the Sittingbourne site remains high with 89% of available slots booked. Sheerness site is less busy so it’s worth trying there if you can’t get the date you want at Sittingbourne."
  You can book a slot at The Tip/Dump/Household Waste Recycling Centre online. Here is the link you need.
• Normal Bin Day remember you can check the bin icon at the top of IwadeVillage.co.uk to see which bin to put out. And if your bin doesn't get collected then the advice is to leave it out until it does!
