The first event will take place on Sunday 8 May 2022 at Brixham College, Higher Ranscombe Road between 9:30am and 1:30pm.

The second and third events will take place on the 15 and 29 May 2022, 9:30am to 1:30pm, at Torquay Town Hall car park, this has moved from the previous location of Lymington Road car park.

Torquay Town Hall car park will be closed to other vehicles on 15 May 2022 only, the first Torquay collection point, between 8am and 2pm to allow for the setup and traffic flow to be organised.

When visiting the service in Torquay residents will need to queue and wait to unload their vehicles.

From June the service will resume in Brixham on the first Sunday of every month and Torquay on the second and fourth Sunday of every month.

Councillor Mike Morey, Cabinet Member of Infrastructure, Environment and Culture for Torbay Council said: “The return of the green waste collection points is great for Torbay residents, offering another way to recycle green waste across Torbay”
