POPULAR waste weekends at West Drayton have been extended to offer more recycling opportunities for residents.

The waste weekends, which had been running once a month since 2009 at Railway Sidings, Tavistock Road, will now be held every weekend between 9am and 4pm (up to 5pm during summer).

A pop-up site is created by Hillingdon Council in West Drayton, where residents can bring a variety of items, including cardboard and paper, electrical appliances; garden waste, mattresses, TVs, clothes and shoes and more.

It is free, though residents need to show their HillingdonFirst card or proof of address when they arrive.

The site is in addition to Harefield Civic Amenity Site, New Years Green Lane, which is open Monday to Sunday and bank holidays, 8am-4pm (to 6pm during summer).
