Garden waste collection in Aberdeen 

Garden waste includes home-grown fruit and vegetables, tree bark, leaves, flowers, grass, weeds, pruned branches and twigs. Aberdeen Council has certain rules for garden waste – requiring residents to put it securely in bags or containers for quick decanting into bins. The city operates a seasonal garden waste collection service between September and August at a permitted cost.

For increased flexibility regarding your garden waste collection, consider our affordable services.

Clinical waste collection in Aberdeen 

There are at least 13 hospitals in Aberdeen, and this number doesn’t include clinics or other healthcare facilities. This means that clinical waste is likely to feature highly among Aberdeen’s most common waste types. Clinical waste refers to waste produced from healthcare activities and includes medicines, swabs, syringes, dressings and bandages.

There could be hazardous substances or infectious diseases carried within the clinical waste, so it’s important to dispose of it safely and securely. Clinical waste must be placed in appropriate bags or containers at the point of production and sealed correctly. You can then call us to retrieve your items promptly and efficiently.

General waste collection in Aberdeen 

General waste is usually the most common waste in several cities. This is because it encompasses all materials from households that cannot be recycled. General waste includes non-recyclable plastics, kitchen scraps, packaging materials, and polytene.

Homeowners and businesses in Aberdeen can reduce general waste levels by utilising general waste collection services. It’s important to store this waste safely and securely before collection to prevent street littering. Employing the help of waste management services guarantees that general waste is disposed of in an eco-friendly manner.

How can I apply for an additional household general waste bin in Aberdeen? 

Households can apply for additional general waste bins if they have five or more residences, one or more residents with special requirements which cause them to produce excess waste, or two or more children under age three in nappies. The council only accepts applications from those who make full use of their food and garden waste bin and mixed recycling bin.

There is a charge at the time of writing of £36.10 for an additional general waste bin, yet a 50% discount is available for those receiving Housing benefits or Council Tax benefits.

If you require additional general waste collection at one-off intervals, consider Divert.

What is the recycling target for Aberdeen? 

The Scottish Government aims to recycle 70% of all waste by 2025 as part of its Zero Waste Plan of 2010. It also aims for 56% of household waste to be recycled through source separation by the same year. This paves the way for no more than 5% of household waste to be landfilled by 2025.
