Festive bin collection dates

North Ayrshire Council has announced changes to its usual bin collections on Arran during the festive period.

 

The advice is to put your bin out for 7am as the actual time of collection might vary from usual during the holidays. If adverse weather affects your area, council workers will return to collect your bin when possible.

 

On Arran, domestic collection dates in December will change as follows: Monday 26 to Wednesday 28; Tuesday 27 to Thursday 29; Wednesday 28 to Friday 30.

 

In January, uplifts change from: Monday 2 to Wednesday 4; Tuesday 3 to Thursday 5 and Wednesday 4 to Friday 6.

 

There will also be changes to commercial waste collections dates. Those due on December 26 and 27 will be carried out on December 27 only, while uplifts scheduled for January 2 and 3 will be collected on January 3 only.

 

In all areas, the council’s household waste recycling centres will shut at 2pm on Christmas Eve, remaining closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and December 27. The centres close again at 2pm on Hogmanay, remaining closed on Sunday January 1 to Wednesday January 4, but will be open as usual all other days.

 

Special uplifts will stop on Friday December 16 and start again on Monday January 9 2023.

 

Real Christmas trees can be deposited at the Brodick Household Waste Recycling Centre in Market Road.

 

Councillor Scott Davidson, cabinet member for place, said: ‘During the festive period people can end up with more packaging and food waste than usual so it is important for us all to play our part by recycling and using the proper bins. Please take a note of any changes to collection dates in your area.’
