Wheeled Refuse Bins should only be used for residual waste that cannot be Reduced, Reused, Recycled or Composted, thus ensuring we are all working towards meeting the targets set by the European Union and Scottish Executive.
Please download your Refuse and Recycling Collection calendars for 2007 - 2009 from the Waste Aware Grampian Website.
Collection Times
The map below indicates when your Refuse Bin should be put out for collection:
- Blue Area: 6:30am
- Green Area: 7:30am
Cost of Wheeled Refuse Bins:
The standard cost of a new or replacement Wheeled Refuse Bin is:
- 240 litre - £46.30
Buying Bins from a third party offers no guarantee that the bin is compatible with our lifting equipment and therefore no guarantee of collection.
New Builds:
Households constructed and occupied after the service is established will be required to purchase their own Wheeled Refuse Bin.
Moving House:
Householders moving into a property that does not have a Wheeled Refuse Bin will be required to purchase their own.
Discounted New or Replacement Refuse Bins :
We offer a discounted price for refuse bins in cases of financial hardship. This discount applies to the purchase of new bins (where you are buying a bin for a property that does not already have one) AND where a bin is lost due to theft or criminal damage. In both cases, you qualify for a discounted replacement refuse bin only if you are in receipt of:
- Council Tax Benefit
OR - Housing Benefit
If your bin has been stolen or vandalised, you will also need to report this to Grampian Police.
If you qualify for a discount you will be asked to pay £5.20 towards the cost of processing the application and providing the wheeled bin. Advance payment is required in all cases.
If you qualify for a discounted refuse bin, you also qualify for a discount on the cost of a Special Uplift of bulky waste.
