Fraserburgh Recycling Point temporarily removed

The Recycling Point at the Co-op, Albert Street, Fraserburgh has been removed temporarily. Due to the building of the new store, the Co-op have lost most of their car parking spaces therefore cannot accommodate the Recycling Point at this time. The Recycling Point will be returned to this site once the building work has completed (approximately December 2012). Please use alternative Recycling Points in Fraserburgh or visit the Household Waste Recycling Centre at Anderson Place.
