- during winter, weekend opening hours remain the same 9am-4.45pm
- closure of sites for one or two days during the week remain the same
- all sites will shut from 1.15pm-2pm each day in order to allow staff to receive a lunch break and members of the public should avoid this period

COVID-19 measures in place at CRCs
To reduce the spread of COVID-19, and ensure social distancing guidelines are adhered to, the following guidance remains in place for all community recycling centres:
- all visitors must adhere to the Scottish Government’s FACTS guidance, including social distancing
- please abide by the signs in place at each site and do not queue beyond 'no queuing' signage at the entrances to avoid traffic backing up
- no assistance can be provided by site staff to offload materials
Councillor Gordon Edgar, Executive Member for Infrastructure, Travel and Transport
“I would like to thank the public for the high levels of use across our community recycling centres so far this year, including taking advantage of the extended opening hours over summer.
“Recycling is one of the easiest everyday actions we can take to make a positive impact on climate change and by doing so more often we can also help lower council tax bills.
“I would encourage as many people as possible to make the most of these community facilities and continue to play their part.”
