RESIDENTS can receive advice on disposing of their household waste from two newly-appointed recycling workers.
Stockton Borough Council has recruited the staff to work at the household waste recycling centre at Haverton Hill to advise visitors on the correct skips to use and to ensure as much waste as possible is recycled.
Mark Woodall and Norman Rigg are funded by the Waste Resources Action Programme and will operate from the site, near Stockton.
Brian Simpson, Stockton council's recycling officer, said: "Last year, more than 7,200 tonnes of household waste were sent for recycling from this site alone. This year, we aim to recycle more than 8,000 tonnes, but we need everyone's help."
