What to know before visiting Aviemore Tip
1Getting to the Granish Site
Located just off the main routes at the Granish Landfill area, this essential Highland amenity is easily accessible for those living around the Cairngorms. Follow the prominent road markers pointing towards the rural outskirts, and you will arrive at the entry barrier shortly.
2Weekly Limits for Vans and Trailers
For those utilizing a light goods vehicle or towing a sizable attachment, you are restricted to a single authorized visit between Sunday and Saturday. This strict quota ensures that the facility does not become overwhelmed with oversized loads during peak weekend hours.
3Alternative Collection Services
If you cannot transport bulky goods to the local tip yourself, the regional authority offers a paid bulky uplift service. For a set fee, the council will collect up to six large items directly from your kerbside, saving you the hassle of hiring a large van.
4Do Not Dismantle Upholstery
Environmental guidelines now dictate that any padded seating, from office chairs to large recliners, must be deposited exactly as they are. Please refrain from sawing or breaking down these items, as their internal materials require specialized, contained processing.
5Exclusively for Domestic Taxpayers
This amenity exists solely for private residents clearing out their own homes. The gate staff actively monitor the type of debris being unloaded, and anyone suspected of trying to sneak in professional or business-related scrap will face an immediate ban.
6Site Safety and Footwear
Please ensure you wear robust, flat shoes when walking across the tarmac. The ground can occasionally harbor sharp fragments of metal or glass. Taking a few moments to organize your recyclables before leaving the house will also reduce the time you spend wandering around the active yard.
