Improvement Works Planned for Stoke Gifford Sort IT! Centre

From Monday 4th February through to Sunday 17th February inclusive, the Stoke Gifford SORT IT!* Centre will be closed as work is undertaken to improve facilities and maintain a safe environment for residents and staff.

The works will include the introduction of pedestrian walkways with handrails and allow for the removal of steps to containers, making it easier for local residents to undertake their future recycling activities. The access road will also be resurfaced to provide a smoother ride for drivers.

Vicki May, SITA UK s South Gloucestershire-based Regional Manager said: “Our overriding priority is the continued safety for all at the SORT IT!* Centre and working with South Gloucestershire Council the decision to close the centre has been made to allow improvements to be carried out efficiently. ”

Chair of South Gloucestershire Council s Communities Committee Cllr Claire Young said: “We aim to deliver an excellent recycling service for our residents so I am very pleased to see these improvements to the Stoke Gifford SORT IT!* centre. The improvements will make it even easier for people to recycle their household waste and will help us to further reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfill. ”

During the temporary closure, the remaining three SORT IT!* Centres, at Yate, Mangotsfield and Thornbury will be open as usual every day from 8am – 4.30pm.
