Perth and Kinross Waste

Almost 47% 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 mixed plastic packaging 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 7:30 am 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 and rubble or timber in the bin
  • Do not put liquids, such as paint, 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.

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.
