Reuse containers

There are a considerable number of items in reusable condition that are disposed of at local Recycling Centres. To help divert waste from landfill, and reuse as much as possible, the Council - in partnership with local reuse organisation PUSH - has set up Reuse Containers at selected Recycling Centres.

Donated items are re-sold and re-distributed within the local community. PUSH, the reuse organisation collecting items via the Reuse Containers, provides employment and training opportunities in the local area.

Reuse Containers can be found at Friarton, Crieff, Inveralmond and Kinross Recycling Centres.

Please note that members of the public are not allowed to remove any items from the Reuse Containers.
