Householders in Orkney, whose refuse collections were missed or cancelled due to last week’s wintry weather are being asked to store rubbish if possible until their next scheduled refuse collection. They will be able to put surplus black bags out alongside their bins (or extra red bags if those are used).

Glass and plastics recycling which was missed last week would need to be stored until the next round of that collection – week of 8th March

In addition, people can:

·       take excess rubbish to Hatston or Garson Household Waste Recycling Centres.

·       take glass and plastic bottles to the Cursiter or St. Margaret’s Hope HWRCs.
