Four of Birmingham's household recycling centres will re-open on Thursday, the city council has confirmed.
The waste centres, which have been closed since the beginning of the coronavirus lockdown, will be open for limited hours and only one adult will be permitted to leave the car.
The sites on Lifford Lane in Kings Norton, Holford Drive in Perry Barr, Norris Way in Sutton Coldfield and James Road in Tyseley will be open Monday to Friday between 11:00 and 20:00 - and between 08:00 and 14:00 at the weekend.
The council says vans and large trailers will not be permitted and the only exceptions to the single person rule will be Blue Badge holders and lone parents who have no other option but to bring children.
