Farthinghoe recycling centre set to reopen this Saturday
15/03/2022
Refurbishment work has been completed and a new contractor appointed until 2025
Here’s some good news for people who are about to have a spring clear-out. Farthinghoe’s popular reuse and recycling centre is set to reopen this Saturday morning (March 19).
The facility, on the A422 between Brackley and Middleton Cheney, has been refurbished by West Northamptonshire Council and is now under new management.
Ace Reuse Recycling will now operate the site until 2025. They plan to improve the centre’s shop with new racking and card payment facilities. They already operate a number of successful reuse shops across Northamptonshire.
The centre will open five days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. Closure days will be Wednesday and Thursday, which are traditionally the centre’s quietest days.
Farthinghoe recycling centre closed in January when the former operator decided to retire. During the closure, whilst a new operator was appointed and refurbishment work was carried out, including improving surfaces, fixing perimeter fencing and replacing signage.
Cllr Phil Larratt, Portfolio Holder for Environment, Highways, Transport and Waste at West Northamptonshire Council said: “We’re delighted to be reopening this excellent facility, which recycles more than 800 tonnes of material each year as well as offering a really popular reuse shop selling a range of items, including furniture, books and toys.
“The previous operator did a fantastic job of running the centre, and Ace Reuse Recycling is set to improve its offering still further. Having the contract run until 2025 also offers us a great opportunity to look at how we can further improve all of our household waste recycling centres for the benefit of residents across West Northamptonshire.”
