Check on Your Elderly Neighbours
It’s easy to forget about the importance of checking in on someone who is elderly or has been ill recently but it’s incredibly important to do so particularly during these uncertain times and when the weather is bad. Loneliness is a real problem for the elderly. If it’s been a few days or more since you’ve popped around to see how a friend or elderly neighbours are, try and make the time to do it today (socially distancing).
You may well be the only person they speak to today, and that will really brighten their day. It’s also important to check how they are in case of a fall or other health problem that may have gone unnoticed, if they have been alone for a number of days. Sharing your time like this is a wonderful way of spreading cheer and a great gift to give all year round. It not only makes that person feel loved and cared for, but it’ll also makes you feel good seeing the smile you put on that elderly persons face.
Recycling
Recycling a wide range of materials is easier than ever and a great step towards a greener lifestyle. There are lots of ways to recycle more household items, more often.....
If you have large items at home that you no longer need and are still in good condition, you can have them collected by Moray Waste Busters

Residents' are reminded not to dump their garden waste anywhere on the site. Either buy a home composting bin or pay for an Annual Garden Waste Permit from Moray Council and they will collect your garden waste.

Septic Tank system
Living in a rural area and our homes are not connected to the mains drainage, we have to use the septic tank systems on Riverview Country Park. Their purpose is to treat the waste water from your properties and adjoining neighbours properties. It's up to you - and your neighbours, to make sure it works efficiently by not allowing certain items to block the septic tanks, examples of which are .......
disposable nappies, wet wipes, sanitary products, condoms, cotton buds, paper towels, kitchen fat oil or grease, food scraps, pet food, paint, solvents, cigarette butts, to name a but a few.
The Park Management have the responsibility for the regular emptying and maintenance of the septic tanks, ensuring they are working properly, however we must do our part by not allowing the above items to enter the system. More information .......
