Disposal of Green garden waste: From Argyll & Bute website:
We encourage residents wherever possible to recycle their green and garden wastes. One option is to compost at home which supports the environment and saves money by providing free compost for next year’s gardening.
Alternatively, you can take it to your local recycling centre where it will be sent for composting or recovery.
Finally, garden waste can be placed in your green bin where it will be disposed of appropriately.
On no account should garden waste be fly-tipped. This is an offence, costs public money to remove and can result in a fine.

There are no regular garden waste bin uplifts in this area and in surrounding areas this is a PAID for service. For those without vehicles this is a possible problem but even the smallest garden can have a compost bin or area. Larger items can be collected by arrangement with A&B Council but there is a charge.
Please do not dispose on the shore, including around the War Memorial opposite Cove Burgh Hall. Fly tipping garden waste, including grass clippings, is illegal.
