Empty Grit Bin

Reported via mobile in the Grit Bin Refill category anonymously at 17:35, Monday 5 January 2026

Sent to Aberdeenshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 940962.

Can our grit bin be refilled please? When certain ones were being taken out of circulation our one was staying due to being on a slight hill. Have tried to report it as empty but there’s no yellow dot to report as it as empty. AB39 3ZG. We have as a collective cleared the street as best as we can but it’s very slippy and the grit bin is almost empty. Many thanks #1

Updates

  • We’ve had a look at the issue and we have now passed your enquiry to the appropriate team to assess what can be done to resolve the matter.

    We will now investigate and provide you with an update within the next 14 days; we’ll let you know when that assessment has taken place.

    In the meantime, you can find out more about our winter maintenance service on our website at www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/roads-and-travel/roads/winter-maintenance.

  • Thanks for getting in touch. This grit bin is situated in a location that does not fall under the Roads Service’s maintenance responsibilities.

    Bins at schools, medical centres, hospitals, new housing developments, or other non-adopted locations are managed by the organisation or company responsible for that site.

    Unfortunately, this bin is not part of our replenishment programme and will not be refilled.

    State changed to: Closed
