Changes to parking arrangements at our Household Waste Recycling Centres at Sixfields, Ecton Lane and Towcester have been introduced from Thursday 27 March.
Visitors to these sites will now be asked to park in marked bays, replacing the parallel parking system previously in place.
Extra staff will be on hand to help direct cars while everyone gets used to the new arrangements.
The changes reduce the distance from the bays to the waste and recycling containers, further improving safety for visitors and helping to keep our sites cleaner.
