Blenheim’s Waste Sorting Centre is open again to receive waste from the public.

The waste is recorded using weighbridges and an onsite manual system, so members of the public need to be patient with the attendants.

Commercial waste delivered by skip companies will go to landfill for the time being.

Marlborough District Council Solid Waste Manager Alec McNeil says it’s great to get the centre reopened again.

“We still have some work to assess the damage and costs. The investigation into the cause of the fire is continuing.”
