Recycling centres
The recycling centres will remain open during the lockdown, staff levels permitting. Based on Scottish Government guidance, visiting a recycling centre is permitted as essential travel, however, please only travel to a recycling centre if absolutely necessary. Book a slot at a household recycling centre or find out how to book.
We operate a number of recycling centres where we accept a wide range of items. We also provide many glass and textile recycling points across Aberdeenshire.
