Information on collection day changes

Collection day changes

Inverness and Nairn

Some garden waste bin collection days are changing in the Inverness and Nairn area. Not all garden waste collection days are changing, some will remain as they are.

Refuse and recycling bin collection days remain unaffected.

Letters and new garden waste collection calendars will be sent to customers between 17 August and 31 August who have purchased a permit and who will see a collection day change.  

The garden waste collection days are changing to help improve efficiency from refuse collection vehicles and to reduce carbon emissions by mapping more efficient and balanced collection routes.

In addition, the new routes will help us to manage waste and recycling collections from the continued growth of housing developments across Highland.

Any changes to collection days will start from Thursday 1 September 2022.

The frequency of collections is not changing. Garden waste collections will remain on a fortnightly basis.
