Public access to the new centre will be via World’s End Lane, which has been widened to a two-way road with a dedicated cycle path and footpath.
Visitors are being advised to use the signposted route via Broadmead Lane roundabout and Ashmead Road.
All council operational vehicles will use a separate site entrance in Pixash Lane.
The current Keynsham Recycling Centre in Pixash Lane will close and be incorporated into the construction works.
Mandy Bishop, chief operating officer of Bath & North East Somerset Council, said: “This new purpose-built public household waste and recycling centre will be quicker and easier for residents to use, with expanded recycling provision to make it possible for people to recycle even more.”
Construction on Phase 2 of the Keynsham Recycling Hub will continue, but site traffic will use the main entrance on Pixash Lane.
It is anticipated that Phase 2 will be completed over the winter.
Landscaping and tree and hedgerow planting around the new recycling centre will be ongoing as the correct size and species of trees become available.
Information on the new Reuse and Recycling Centre can be found on the council website, including directions and a layout of the new site.
The opening times will remain the same:
- Monday to Friday: 8am to 4.15pm
- Saturday: 9am to 3.45pm
- Sunday: 9am to 1pm
- Bank Holidays: 8am to 3.45pm
