West Lothian’s five recycling centres are to have their opening hours and staff numbers cut in half - in a bid to maintain the service despite savage budget cuts.
The centres will be open for 144 hours a week - down from 280 - and nine of the 18 staff members will have to be redeployed. A booking system will also be set up for all vehicles attending the site.
The changes means two of the centres will only open for one day during the week.
