West Lothian’s five recycling centres will move to reduced hours with a booking system for customers from September following agreement by the council’s Executive.
Opposition councillors predicted a surge in fly-tipping and claimed a move to booking slots would exclude the elderly and those unfamiliar with technology from being able to use the service.
Community Recycling Centres (CRCs) are to have their opening hours and staff numbers cut in half - in a bid to maintain the service despite savage budget cuts.
