West Lothian to halve recycling centre booking slots

Summarised from Edinburgh Live's report · Updated 13 Oct, 13:08 · Archive

West Lothian Council is reducing booking slots at its five recycling centres from 30 to 15 minutes.

West Lothian Council has confirmed it will reduce booking slots at its five recycling centres from 30 minutes to 15 minutes. This change will create additional booking slots and bring the authority into line with neighbouring local authorities. Two of the five centres are open each weekday and all five open at weekends.

Last year, 404,530 slots were available across the five centres, with 357,517 bookings made. However, around 12% of available slots were not booked at all, and 7.5% of bookings did not result in a visit. The council said the change would be monitored and adjusted if required as part of a service operational review. When similar changes were first introduced, they prompted complaints, though the number has since dropped as the system became established.
