Reducing the amount of rubbish that goes to landfill is at the heart of what we do, so we encourage people to do what they can to use all the recycling options in their area:
Recycling centre
Your local household recycling centre is Gott Bay recycling centre, where you can take many types of items that can't be recycled in your household bins - including your garden waste, textiles, small and large electrical items and batteries.
Household recycling collections
To check the dates for all your household recycling collections, you can find your calendar using our postcode lookup - Tiree bin collections
Blue bin for mixed recycling
Your blue bin is collected every 2 weeks, and is for mixed recycling of paper, card and cardboard; plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays; and cartons.
Grey bin for glass recycling
Your grey bin is collected every 4 weeks, and is for recycling of glass bottles and jars.
Green garden waste and food waste
We encourage residents wherever possible to recycle their food and garden wastes. One option is to compost at home which supports the environment and saves money by providing free compost for next year’s gardening.
Alternatively, you can take your garden waste to your local recycling centre where it will be sent for composting or recovery.
The Love Food Hate Waste website has lots of tips on how to reduce your food waste.
