Huge tailbacks had been reported outside tips in the city as people took advantage of the lockdown to tidy up their gardens or clear their household clutter.
Waiting times have reduced since opening hours were extended last month to seven days a week, from 9am-6pm – a change which will remain in place until the end of September.
