RECYCLING

Home Page

We strongly encourage recycling on the Park, please help us to maintain our high standards by recycling your waste whilst staying with us. We have carefully looked at the way we conducted our business, the impact it has on the environment and our purchasing and waste management policy.  

We wish to encourage all our visitors to follow in our footsteps and do as much as possible to maintain the beautiful surroundings of Muasdale Holiday Park, the beach, the village and the whole of Kintyre.  We ask that Dog Owners are especially vigilant about their dogs waste whilst in the village, on the park, on the beach, not only is it unsightly but can be very dangerous for young children building sandcastles.

Smokers: 
We operate a no smoking policy in all our accommodation, you may smoke outside your Caravan Holiday Home or the Apartment, but please dispose of your cigarette ends thoughtfully, as well as being environmentally unacceptable, they are unsightly on the ground.  We ask that smokers on the touring park dispose of their cigarette ends carefully as wildlife can be affected by these more easily, as well as being unsightly for other park users.

  • Apartment:  Please make sure you have cleaned your apartment and emptied your rubbish bins, especially the kitchen bin before you leave.  Recycling bins are near the apartment. 

  • Caravan Holiday Homes:  Please make sure you have emptied your waste bin before leaving and double check for any litter that may have been dropped by your Caravan Holiday Home:  

  • Tents:  Please make sure that you have cleaned up your pitch and collected all your rubbish before leaving, especially bits of string, sweet wrappers, crisp packets and cigarette ends..  We would be most grateful if you would count your tent pegs as you use them and again when removing them, a stray tent peg can cause a lot of damage to our ride-on mower as well as a hazard to other park users. 

  • Touring Caravans/Motorhomes:  Please double check your area as you leave for rubbish, if you have been using an awning, please make sure you have all your awning pegs accounted for, a stray peg can cause a lot of damage to our ride-on mower as well as a hazard to other park users.

  • Recycling Bins: 

    We have special bins for your recycled rubbish : Glass Bottles (no broken glass) - black liner.
    Drink Cans + Plastic bottles – white liner.  Magazines, Newspapers & Cardboard – blue line
    r.  
    NB:  Recycling schemes differ from area to area, what may be acceptable in your area, may not be in this area, please bear this in mind and only put in the bins what it says on the lids.

  • For "ordinary waste" there are wheelie bins.  These bins are located by the Green Pedestrian Gate on the Caravan Holiday Homes side of the park, because of the gusty conditions at times the wheelie bins need to kept by the low wall for protection.   We have however, built a special "recycling bin area" for the touring
    park to encourage children to run back and forth with your recycling items.
