They have warned of potential delays and urged people to consider visiting later in the week.

They updated their website today (Monday 6 September) to say:

"Due to HGV driver shortages today, not all waste types may be available and you could experience some delays. Please do check our website for your site before setting off, which will be updated with the latest information, and if possible we request you defer your visit to later in the week."
