RECYCLING centre restrictions have been relaxed in Moray, allowing residents to dispose of more household waste.
Residents will now be allowed to dispose of soil, rubble, bulky waste, metals and wood at all of the area's recycling centres.
Non-recyclable waste, which would normally go in a green bin, garden waste, cardboard and small electrical and electronic devices continue to be accepted at all recycling centres.
And, while a booking system will remain in place, small vans and trailers (no larger than six feet) will be permitted access to recycling centres in Elgin, Buckie, Forres and Keith with immediate effect.
Strict social distancing will remain in place meaning no assistance can be offered by staff to unload vehicles or dispose of waste.
A maximum of three vehicles will be allowed on site at any one time at Chanonry in Elgin and Waterford in Forres, while at Balloch Road in Keith and Gollachy in Buckie, a maximum of two vehicles will be permitted.
There will be no change to the current restriction of a maximum of two people permitted to leave the vehicle to allow heavy or bulky items to be disposed of.
