Anyone wanting to use one of Bristol's two - soon to be three - recycling centres will have to book in advance, from next month onwards.
Bristol Waste has announced it intends to ditch the present system, where people can go on alternate days depending on whether they have odd or even number plates on their vehicles.
The council-run waste company said more detail would be coming soon, but claimed the new booking system would eliminate queueing time, ease congestion on the roads around the recycling centres and 'ensure a smoother on-site experience'.
