In December 2013 a new state of the art recycling centre for Ottery St Mary and Sidmouth opened. The centre was opened by Councillor Bernard Hughes OBE.
The centre, on the C808, is around 300 metres south of the Woods Farm hub it has replaced.
SITA UK Ltd will be operating the centre for DCC and all the staff from Woods Farm will transfer across.
The site - leased to the council by Clinton Devon Estates – and an adjacent field will be landscaped and planted with around 5,000 trees and shrubs to screen it and minimise its visual impact on the surrounding area. The centre also features a split-level design where the public can deposit items in various containers placed at a lower level without the need to climb steps.
The facility will be open from 8am to 4.30pm from Monday to Friday and 10am to 4.30pm on Saturdays and Sundays.
