The date when Nottinghamshire's 12 recycling centres will reopen permanently following the coronavirus lockdown has been revealed.
Nottinghamshire County Council said its final four centres - Giltbrook, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Mansfield and West Bridgford - will reopen from Monday, June 1.
It means the county council will have reopened all of its 12 centres to the public following guidance from the government that it is safe to do so - despite the pandemic.
The council reopened six of its sites on Monday, May 18, leading to severe traffic disruption and "dangerous roads" at the Beeston and Newark centres.
Nottingham City Council also reopened sites on the same day, reporting queues of "up to four hours" at the Lenton centre as people rushed to remove their rubbish.
Two further county-run tips, in Retford and Warsop, reopened last week and now the county council is reopening its final sites.
All 12 centres will be open from 8am until 6pm each day, with only cars allowed until Monday, June 8 when vans, trailers and pickups will be granted access.
The council has confirmed social distancing will be enforced and a strict one car in, one car out system will be in place.
The centres also be running a limited service, only accepting garden waste, wood, cardboard, metal, electrical waste and general waste.
Councillor Kay Cutts, leader of the council, has urged people not to "rush to the sites" when the four remaining centres reopen.
She said: “We have successfully reopened eight of the county’s recycling centres and are set to open the remaining four sites on Monday.
"We can do this thanks to the diligence of residents who have treated the reopening of centres sensibly and safely.
"As the sites will be open for longer, residents will have more opportunity to dispose of their waste, so I urge people not to rush to the sites.
"I would still reiterate that where possible residents should store waste safely at home in the first instance.
"In doing so residents will help us to continue to deliver this service effectively whilst the sites operate at a reduced capacity due to social distancing."
