Staffordshire County Council has confirmed that household waste and recycling centres will shut between 1pm and 3pm until Friday (26th June).

A spokesperson said:

> "Our site teams work outdoors all day and are required to wear protective equipment, making conditions especially challenging during peak temperatures.  
>  
> "These temporary closures are to protect staff safety, while helping us keep sites open as normal for the rest of the day."
