NEW bins will be coming to towns and villages across East Ayrshire from later this month.
The council's decision to replace the recycling trolleys in favour of separate bins will aim to save the local authority around £1.7 million a year.
Households will instead have one larger bin for paper and cardboard, one for plastics and cans, and one for glass.
The new bins will be rolled out from next week, where household trolleys will be removed after its last collection, and the new bins will be delivered between Monday and Friday of the changeover week.
An online system is available to view on the council website to check exact address changeover dates.
Here is when the area's towns and villages can expect their trolleys to be taken away and their new bins to be brought in according to the council's website:
- Cumnock- W/C May 11, May 25 and June 1
- Auchinleck- W/C June 1 and September 21
- Dalrymple- W/C June 8
- Patna- W/C June 15
- Dalmellington- W/C July 13
- Ochiltree- W/C July 27
- Sorn- W/C August 3
- Catrine- W/C August 3 and September 14
- Muirkirk- W/C August 17
- Lugar and Logan- W/C August 24

Each of the new bins, along with the general waste bin, will then be collected once every four weeks, while the food caddy will be collected weekly alongside.
