A recycling centre manager requested that children be removed from their parent’s car and taken outside the centre to wait, as they are not allowed on site for health and safety reasons.
There is specific industry guidance which clearly states that “children should stay in the car” at civic amenity sites, so this is a badly misinformed myth. It is also a dangerous myth, in that the “health and safety” excuse used could have led to a greater risk to the children. Managers at waste and recycling sites should know their industry standards much better than this.
