KERRY County Council has confirmed that all civic amenity sites around the county will fully reopen for business from Monday next.
They had reopened on a phased basis since May 18 but only to accept domestic black bag waste and recycling at the depots as well as cardboard and glass and cans at bottle banks.
In line with the Roadmap for Reopening of Society of Business programme, however, and having assessed the lifting of the travel limit from 5km to 20km, as well as activity levels, it is intended that the centres will resume normal activities next week.
This includes accepting trailers as well as waste electrical and scrap metal at civic amenity sites in addition to the domestic waste and recyclables.
Customers are advised that delays may be experienced to ensure that social distancing is maintained on all sites. The current queuing system in place for customers to enter the sites will remain in place with ground markings at 2m intervals.
Traffic management arrangements will remain in place as well.
The reopening, which has been welcomed by Mayor of Kerry, Cllr Niall Kelleher, will see all sites reopening for full days on Monday and Thursday of next week to ensure queuing and social distancing can be maintained. This includes the sites in Caherciveen and Dingle which would normally be closed on Mondays.
The proposed phased restoration of services above will be kept under regular review and may be adjusted subject to any government or public health advice and guidance as we move forward.
