The council has invested in new machinery to increase the capacity and efficiency of the skips used for various waste types. This initiative aims to reduce the downtime associated with emptying or replacing skips, ensuring they are more consistently available for residents.
New signage is being installed across all six centres to provide clearer guidance for residents on correctly sorting and placing their waste into the appropriate skips, thereby promoting increased recycling efforts. Additionally, all the centres have undergone resurfacing.
“"Our six Household Waste Recycling Centres are free to use, open seven days a week and accept a wide range of materials for disposal and recycling."
“"Residents can use their domestic bins to recycle paper, cardboard, glass, metal, plastic, food and garden waste and the HWRCs offer recycling for items including furniture, batteries and vapes, wood, electricals, rubble, gas bottles, scrap metal and bikes."
“"Recycling is important for the environment, reducing carbon emissions, energy, pollution and the use of natural materials, and our HWRCs allow residents to dispose of their waste responsibly."
Further information regarding the council’s HWRCs, including opening hours and a comprehensive list of recyclable materials, is available on the North Lanarkshire Council website.
