ONLINE bookings will be needed ahead of a visit to Bickenhill tip, Solihull Council has announced.
The borough has said a new booking system will be in place next month for users of Bickenhill Household Waste and Recycling Centre (HWRC).
Solihull Council’s Cabinet Member for Environment and Highways, Coun Ken Hawkins, said: “We recognise that social distancing will be with us for a long time to come and that implementing this at our tip has contributed to quite lengthy queues for some time now.
“While we would still encourage residents to explore all other options – such as donations of useable items to charity shops or booking a bulky waste collection – we are working towards an online booking system for Solihull residents which should help considerably.
“We will have the new system in place in September and will give residents more information about how to book online once we have completed the necessary testing.”
