Crow Recycling is closing temporarily from lunch time on Friday April 16 due to the pressures of the coronavirus outbreak.

Crow’s education development worker Lucy Lynch said: “We haven’t got a reopening date yet. When we do we will post on this blog so please keep an eye out here. The closure is only temporary so don’t forget about us – we’re looking forward to being up and running again when times get better.”

There will be nobody available to answer the telephone but e mails will be checked at least weekly. Anyone who needs to get in touch during the closure should e mail crow@talktalkbusiness.net.

Warehouse volunteers were sent home at the beginning of the outbreak and will not be asked to come back until the danger is over. The Scrapstore closed several weeks ago. The warehouse closed to visitors soon afterwards. Operations were reduced to deliveries of shredded paper bedding, collection, sorting and baling of used cans, waste paper collection and destruction of confidential waste paper.
