East Ayrshire recycling collections are to resume next week.
Several prominent councillors on the local authority have confirmed the news this evening.
Councillor Elena Whitham, deputy leader at East Ayrshire Council said that the collection of kerbside recycling will resume on Monday, May 4.
The news comes more than a month after recycling collections were scrapped by the council as the local authority tried to prioritise key services during the coronavirus.
Instead, residents have been receiving three-weekly residual bin collections and have also been permitted to use their empty garden waste bin to use for overspill.
The SNP councillor wrote on Facebook: "Kerbside recycling services will resume from next Monday, May 4.
"More official details will be published tomorrow including adverts on local radio."
Labour councillor Barry Douglas also shared the news but said all recycling centres are likely to remain closed to the public until essential travel restrictions are lifted.
Councillor Douglas added: "Recycling uplifts will resume next week for East Ayrshire residents starting from Monday, May 4, full details will be announced tomorrow and will be advertised on social media and local radio.
"All 32 Scottish local authority area household waste recycling centres remain closed and are likely to remain closed until government essential travel restrictions are relaxed."
