Recycling centres close

Somerset Waste Partnership today announced, among other things, that all 16 Recycling Centres across the County are now closed. This is a section of their information:
Recycling sites: Due to the large number of users at recycling sites, it has been impossible to maintain the required social distancing to ensure the safety of both our teams and users of the facilities. In order to protect members of the public and employees, all 16 recycling sites will be closed until they can be operated safely. In the meantime, it is strongly recommended that everyone should follow the Government advice and stay at home.
