Council Confirms Stirling Road Tip Closure Date |
|
Recycling centre to shut permanently later this month Ealing Council has officially confirmed the closure date for the Stirling Road Recycling Centre in South Acton. The facility is to shut permanently at 4pm on Friday 26 November. It is understood that the site has been acquired by a storage company which operates from an adjacent plot and wishes to expand. Previously there had been no authoritative word on when the centre would close but staff had been telling people they expected their last day to be 28 November. The council announced its intention to close the tip this February despite growth in recycling rates having stalled in the borough. The council blames government funding cuts and said that it would be consolidating waste and recycling operations to one main site at the larger Greenford Reuse and Recycling Centre. Residents in the area can also use the recycling centre at Twyford Abbey Road. The Townmead Road Recycling Centre in Mortlake, which many residents of Chiswick and Acton are likely to use as an alternative, is back to full capacity after being hit by a fire earlier this year but booking is required. Unlike the remaining Ealing borough facilities it is within the ULEZ.
