Some Reminders of public information:
Highland Recycling Centres close and waste service collections changed during Coronavirus.
All Council run Recycling Centres are currently closed and garden waste and the bulky uplift services have been suspended until further notice.
Every effort is being made to continue the regular domestic weekly waste and recycling collections.
Anyone self-isolating due to displaying symptoms: all waste items that have been in contact with the individual, such as tissues and cloths, are disposed of securely within disposal bags. When full these bags should be placed in a second bag and tied and then stored for 72 hours before being put out for collection.
If the bins are not emptied by 5pm please take them off the street and put them out again on the next scheduled collection day.
