Household Recycling
Over 40% of the waste collected in Perth and
Kinross through the kerbside recycling services and at Recycling
Centres and Points is now reused, recycled or
composted.
The majority of households in Perth and Kinross now receive a
kerbside recycling service that allows them to recycle paper,
cans, cardboard and plastic bottles in their blue lidded bin and
food and garden waste in their brown lidded bin. To see if your
household is on this service please see the
Kerbside recycling collection pages.
Other ways to recycle
For householders who are not currently on the
kerbside recycling service we also encourage the use of local
Recycling Centres and Points. These facilities also offer all
householders the opportunity to recycle materials that are not
collected at the kerbside, such as glass and textiles.
On collection day
Please make sure your kerbside wheeled bins are put
out at the agreed location by 7:30am on the day of collection. if
you are unsure where to present your bin to please contact the
Customer Service Centre on 01738 476476.
- Do not overfill your bin and ensure that the lid is closed
- Do not put out additional waste including garden waste next to
your bin as this is not permitted and will not be uplifted
- Do not put any bricks, soil, rubble or timber in the bin.
Failing to present your bin correctly will result in your bin(s)
not being emptied. For more information on this please see our
Waste and Recycling Bin Policy.
You can
view your collection dates online or you can request the collection information in postcard
format online.
Special uplifts for Bulky items
On request there is also a chargeable
Special Uplift service for bulky household items such
as cookers, 3 piece suites, tables and other large items.
