Market Harborough Tip Now Open Seven Days A Week

Extended opening hours have come into effect today at Market Harborough tip.

The household waste and recycling facility on Riverside , which was closed on Thursday and Friday, is now open seven days a week to compensate for the closure of the tip in Kibworth.

It is shut for the next year while a major upgrade of the site takes place.

Councillor Blake Pain, lead member for the environment and green agenda, said: “I am really pleased that the county council is able to open the Market Harborough site seven days a week.

“It’s something we have been working on for several weeks but has been entirely dependent on having staff available at a time when all our sites experience staffing problems.

“I know that the necessary closure of the Kibworth site has caused inconvenience, although the £5M investment work to improve the site will be worthwhile.”
