Recycling centres and local recycling points
There are two Recycling Centres in operation within East Ayrshire:
-
Western Road, Kilmarnock, KA3 1LL
-
Skares Road, Garlaff, near Cumnock, KA18 2RB
The Recycling Centres are staffed by Site Attendants who will help you to identify how best to dispose of your unwanted household items and waste.
Both Recycling Centres contain recycling containers for a wide variety of materials. Each container/bay is clearly labelled, to assist you in identifying where best to deposit the items you no longer have a need for. All household material can be deposited free of charge on site.
It is important that only the correct recyclates go into each container as this makes the sorting process easier.
East Ayrshire residents may use the general waste skips on sites to deposit their excess general waste. However, no commercial waste is accepted at either Recycling Centre.

Local Recycling Points
The Recycling Centres are complemented by a network of local Recycling Points throughout East Ayrshire. The range of materials collected at Recycling Points is largely dependant on space available to site containers.
