Granish household waste and recycling centre has reopened to more items from today.

The range of materials being accepted at Highland Council's recycling centres has been increased from today.

Items now being accepted at the majority of household waste recycling centres will include textiles, glass bottles and jars, engine oil, plasterboard, soil and rubble.

These include at the facilities at Granish by Aviemore and Grantown but not Kingussie.

A council spokesperson said: "The re-introduction of these materials to the HWRC is the latest phase in returning them back to normal following disruption due to Covid-19.

"Now that the Scottish Government’s Stay At Home requirement has been replaced with a ‘Stay Local’ message, it is possible to reintroduce materials which were previously temporarily restricted.

"The public are advised that waste from householder’s own construction and demolition activities such as small scale DIY tasks will only be permitted in cars and will be limited to one visit per day.

Construction and demolition waste includes soil, rubble, plasterboard, kitchen units, bathroom suites, doors and other similar waste from small scale DIY activities.

The majority of HWRC have separate skips for plasterboard and soil and rubble and householders are advised to separate their waste before they arrive at the site.
