MORAY residents are being encouraged to order their garden waste permits by March 5.
The £36 permit must be displayed on brown bins if they contain garden waste.
Those only containing food waste do not require a permit. A separate permit is required for each additional garden waste bin.
The March 5 deadline will guarantee delivery by April 1, with permits being sent out in batches from week beginning March 20.
Permits can be ordered online at any time of the year, however they are valid from April 1, 2023 until March 31, 2024. Permits are valid for the property they are bought for only, they cannot be transferred to another property.
Permit-holders are reminded there are no brown bin collections over Christmas and new year.
Moray Council’s Waste Manager, Mike Neary, said: “We want to make sure residents get their permits in time for them to start being valid on April 1 so would encourage everyone who needs one to go online and complete the form.
"The online ordering process has been simplified even further this year so it’s as straightforward as possible.”
