Domestic Waste Services

Domestic waste services in Scotland are managed by local councils to help households dispose of their waste responsibly.

Local authorities provide regular waste collection, including:

🗑️ General Waste: Non-recyclable household waste collected in designated bins.
♻️ Recycling: Separate bins for paper, plastics, metals, and glass.
🍽️ Food Waste: Available in many areas to reduce landfill waste.
🌿 Garden Waste: Some councils offer collection for leaves, grass clippings, and more.

Councils run recycling centres where residents can dispose of items like electronics, bulky waste, and hazardous materials.

Need to get rid of large items? Many councils provide collection services for furniture and appliances, sometimes for a small fee.

Dumping waste illegally (fly-tipping) is a criminal offense in Scotland. Report incidents to your local council to keep communities clean.

Failing to follow waste regulations can lead to fines and legal action. SEPA (Scottish Environment Protection Agency) enforces these laws.
