Garson and Hatston tips temporarily closed Tuesday 19 December

Hatston and Garson household waste and recycling centres will be closed on Tuesday 19 December

Due to an unexpected vehicle breakdown we've been unable to service the Garson (Stromness) and Hatston household waste recycling centres and empty the skips today (18 December).

Therefore, for everyone’s health and safety, we need to close both the sites tomorrow, Tuesday 19 December, to prevent waste and recycling overflowing and leading to more issues.

We will provide further updates tomorrow as we know more.

We apologise for any inconvenience and are working hard to resolve the issue as quickly as we can.

Stay tuned to our Facebook page for updates.
