Animal welfare

We provide a range of services and advice for farmers, hauliers and manufacturers of animal feed.

Household waste

We empty bins from more than 142,000 households a week. We need to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill and to achieve set targets we must recycle more.

Street cleaning

Keeping the streets clean is a major priority for us and litter squads work seven days a week targeting town centres and main thoroughfares.

Trade waste

A number of private waste disposal companies operate in South Lanarkshire and can provide a quote for a regular collection service.

We carry out inspections, run tests, provide advice and if necessary take legal action in matters of food safety, health and safety at work, air pollution, unacceptable noise levels or public health issues.

Land and property

Information about commercial property to buy or rent, Council land and property for sale, property or land owned us and property enquiry certificates.

Recycling

Household waste is reduced, re-used, recovered, recycled and disposed of in a variety of ways throughout South Lanarkshire.

Sustainable development

We are committed to tackling climate change and ensuring a balance of environmental, social and economic issues are considered in our projects and decision making.
