Residents in East Ayrshire are being urged to renew their garden waste permit in time for spring. 

Permits are valid from March to December for collections every four weeks, at a cost of £30 per bin per year.

The service applies to council tax rated domestic properties only. Only customers assigned to a council brown bin collection route are eligible to apply to the garden waste collection service.

Residents can still dispose of garden waste for free at the recycling centres on Western Road in Kilmarnock and Garlaff near Cumnock.

Permits can be renewed at https://orlo.uk/zEuYG, and the recycling calendar can be viewed at https://orlo.uk/rO0PR.
