Dump disruption due to staff shortage

Both Garson and Hatston dumps will face closures this week, as a result of staffing shortages.

Orkney Islands Council (OIC) has confirmed that, in efforts to minimise disruption, Garson Household Waste Recycling Centre will be closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. Meanwhile, the site at Hatston will be closed from Thursday and Friday.

According to the council, normal opening hours for both sites should be in place for the weekend, and the remaining facilities in Orkney continue to operate as normal.

OIC has apologised for any inconvenience this may cause.
