Waste Management in Scotland is currently facing a period of radical change. Driven by European Legislation and public expectation as well as pressing environmental problems, we must find ways of reducing our dependence on landfill and moving towards more sustainable methods of managing wastes.

South Ayrshire Council has decided to work towards achieving their recycling and waste management targets with easy to use kerbside recycling services for household waste.

Waste services include:

• Fortnightly Collection of Glass
• Separate collections for paper, cardboard, plastic bottles and cans.
• Separate collections for garden waste and kitchen vegetables.

The glass and mixed collections of paper, cardboard, plastic bottles and cans are sent to a recycling plant and recycled.

The garden and vegetable waste are sent to a composting plant and processed into compost for use as a soil conditioner.

Further details of the above services are included in our ‘Household Waste’ pages.
