As collection times vary during the festive period, containers should be presented
for collection the night before uplift or by 6.30am.
The following seasonal arrangements will also apply:
• Excess paper and cardboard stored in plastic sacks and placed beside your recycling
trolley will be collected, as will larger flat packed cardboard
• Use your red/black boxes for any excess glass, or plastics/cans. If you don’t have a
box, bagged plastics/cans can be placed alongside the recycling trolley for uplift
• As the recycling trolley is a weekly uplift service, should your recycling trolley not be
presented in time, materials should be stored until the next week, or can be taken to
the nearest recycling centre or recycling point
• Up to 3 additional refuse sacks will be uplifted per household on the first landfill
waste collection (green/grey bin) following Christmas Day. Place alongside your bin
at the kerbside
• As there are no garden waste collections until March 2024, real Christmas trees can
be taken to the Recycling Centres.
Special Uplifts
To ensure collection before Christmas Day all uplift requests should be received by
Friday 15 December 2023.
Uplift requests received after Friday 15 December 2023 will not be uplifted until
Monday 8 January 2024 at the earliest.
Recycling Centres
Opening hours during the 2023/2024 festive period are as follows:
If you wish to visit either recycling centre, an appointment must be made via the
Council’s website www.east-ayrshire.gov.uk
