A reminder that Aberdeenshire Council household recycling centres will close at 3pm tomorrow (Friday 31 December) and will return to normal opening hours from 3 January.

Household bin collections will go ahead as usual on Monday 3 January and Tuesday 4 January.

However the Waste Service says there may be a disruption in service delivery in some areas due to staff members requiring to isolate. “We are working hard to keep our household bin collections running as normal, but please bear with us if some routes cannot be collected as planned. If your bin is not emptied over the festive period, it will be collected on the next due collection date for that particular bin.”
