Work on a new \u00a34.68m household recycling centre is expected to start next month.<\/p>\n
The facility will be built at Hundred Road in March and will include improved level access to recycling containers, increased parking and dedicated pedestrian and cycling access.<\/p>\n
The project was approved by Cambridgeshire County Council’s environment and green investment committee in July 2024.<\/p>\n
Construction is due to start in mid-August 2026 and is expected to take around nine months. The new site is expected to open in April 2027.<\/p>\n
The facility will include canopies to prevent rainwater from being contaminated by waste materials.<\/p>\n
It will be built adjacent to the existing centre, which will close before the end of June 2027 as part of restoration works.<\/p>\n
The council said there would be an increase in traffic due to construction vehicles accessing the site.<\/p>\n
People are advised to use Whittlesey and Wisbech recycling centres while the original centre is closed for a transfer period.<\/p>\n
Ros Hathorn, chair of the county council’s green and environment investment committee, said: “We know how much residents value ease of use, and the new facility has been designed with that in mind. <\/p>\n
“This investment will provide residents with a modern recycling centre fit for the future and supports our ambition to build a more sustainable Cambridgeshire.”<\/p>\n
