Recycling and Waste Facilities - Scotland
Most councils will keep a record of their recycling and waste management facilities. Therefore we have tried to compile these into a consistent national layer.
The layer contains Recycling Places (including locations of bins and centres) and Waste Management Sites (including transfer centres and current/historic landfill sites). Both are a point layer (any provided polygons will have a centroid created).
