Environment Recycling & Energy

     Green Angus

Angus Council is committed to the environment, and has an exceptional reputation for recycling domestic waste, and one of the highest rates of recycling in Scotland.

The Council aims to improve on this outstanding record by making it easier for householders across Angus to recycle their waste. Following the success of pilot schemes in Arbroath, kerbside collections of recyclable materials have been rolled out across the county.

Plant and vegetable waste is converted into high quality compost, for parks and community facilities, so everyone plays a part in the greening of the area.

To find out more about additional collection containers, the bin wheelout service, or if you would just like to find out more about the Kerbside Recycling service please call 08452 777 778 or e-mail recycling@angus.gov.uk.

 

 

Angus Council has also seen a very positive response to local recycling centres, both with domestic and commercial users. Friendly staff are on hand at each centre to advise and assist.

Protection of the local environment makes the community a healthier, safer and better place for the community.

 

 

Allotments

Angus Council is committed to the principles of supporting residents to establish allotment facilities where there is an established local demand, and Carnosutie is one place where the Council has recently been able to assist keen local gardeners to create a new allotment site.

Allotments are socially, environmentally, and nutritionally advantageous, and the national movement is gaining in momentum. Do you need allotments or more space for yours?

See our local and national links for more info.
