The Tynes Bay public drop-off facility will remain open longer today and tomorrow to help the public to deal with uncollected trash.

A spokesman for the Waste Management Section of the Ministry of Public Works encouraged the public to take household waste, recycling and bulky items to the facility.

“The drop-off facility will extend hours until 7pm tonight and will be open from 7am to 7pm tomorrow and Friday to assist the public with waste disposal,” the spokesman said yesterday.

“The Waste Management Section can also advise that the Airport Waste Management Facility and Marsh Folly Composting Facility are open to accept bulky metal waste and horticultural waste respectively. We will continue to provide the public with updates regarding waste collection as they become available.”
