The changes will come into effect from January 5
Hertfordshire’s rubbish dumps will shut for two days a week from next month.
From January 5, the Potters Bar waste recycling centre in Cranborne Road will open five days a week, closing on Thursdays and Fridays.
The tip will open from 8am to 4pm in the winter, and 10am to 6pm in the summer.
All sites will be open on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, and will close on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.
A van permit scheme will also be introduced from January 5. The permits are free and are valid for 12 months, allowing one van tip per month for use at one site only.
