How we manage waste in Fife

We manage your waste by providing you with

• A household waste collection service,
• Recycling Points and
• Recycling Centres

New four bin service
Several areas of Fife are now on a four bin service allowing them to recycle food waste and cans and plastics at the kerbside. This new service will be provided to most Fife Households over the next few years.

Glenrothes and the surrounding area will be the next area to move onto this service and you can find out more information by visiting the four bin service pages.

How are we doing?
In 2009 Fife recycled 45% of its waste.  This ensures that Fife is still one of the best for recycling in Scotland.

What else can I do?
Recycling is just one way that you can help the environment and reduce the amount of waste we send to landfill. You can also help send less waste to landfill by reducing and reusing.

Reducing, reusing and recycling your waste is a good thing to do because it:

• Saves the Earth's natural resources
• Saves energy and reduces the risk of climate change
• Reduces the need for landfill
