WITH THE traditional Spring clean likely to get a boost as the nation is told to stay at home, a Calne waste disposal company is offering special rates.

RF Wood and Waste are based on Spitfire Road, and husband and wife team John and Celia Kelly are staying open.

"Waste disposal is a key service," said Celia. "We are usually very busy before the Easter break as people have a clear out, so we wanted to let people know we are still up and running."

Celia and John took over the business last year, and have since invested in a mechanical waste sorter.

But the coronavirus situation has seen the sorter switched off, for the time being.

"It's a real shame," said Celia. "We were starting to hire local people but we have had to stop that now. Once things return to normal we will be hiring again."

Other than her, John, and another director there are still 2 full time staff operating diggers at the yard.

"We are offering special rates for any skips delivered within the next 4 weeks so just give us a call."
