Aberdeenshire Council has released details of its seasonal garden waste points for the summer.
They will reopen on Saturday, June 6, with some new locations and opening times being introduced as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
There is no need to book, however traffic management and physical-distancing measures will apply at all sites and visitors are being advised to stay in their vehicle until called forward.
Staff will be unable to assist with any unloading or lifting.
These sites are only to be used for grass clippings and small trimmings - not for larger trees and bushes which take up too much space.
Such items can be taken to one of the Household Recycling Centres in a few weeks when they are expected to begin accepting the normal range of materials.
Visitors should not arrive before the opening times to enable council operatives to have traffic management measures in place.
The seasonal facilities at Mintlaw, Balmedie, Kintore and Newmachar have had to move location due to traffic management issues.
These will return to their original locations once the initial surge is over and they are opened up for ‘normal’ activities.
