Thank you to everyone in the community that uses the recycling bins! I'm happy to announce that we have come first in Scotland for the amount of money raised for the Firefighters Charity through the collection bins in January.

"Kilsyth Fire Station came 3rd last year in Scotland and are now Scottish champions for the first time, having collected 1.75 tonnes – which raised £384."
