A new household waste and recycling centre (HWRC) is to open in Aberdeenshire.
The facility is located at Ellon's Balmacassie Industrial Estate and will be unveiled to the public on Friday, 09 June.
The local authority moved the facility to a new site within Balmacassie as the land it was previously situated on was sold to boost the growth of craft beer company, BrewDog.
The new HWRC will be able to recycle large household items, glass, textiles and a range of other materials.
Sue Horrobin, Waste Manager, said: "We're delighted to open our new HWRC in Ellon. The facility will help residents continue to responsibly dispose of any unwanted household goods and a range of other materials, in turn helping us move towards the Scottish Government's target of 60% recycling by 2020.
"Our entire team would like to thank all users of the facilities in Ellon for their patience and understanding during the short closure period which has allowed us to safely move equipment before opening this new and improved site."
