Grit bins

Grit bins are located at strategic positions within Aberdeenshire towns and villages and there are also bigger grit bins at recycling centres in the larger towns. These resources are to assist with clearing and gritting public roads and footways (not for use on private paths and driveways).

Find out about grit bin removals, including why the decision was made and how to check which bins are being removed.
