Briefing Information

Newly opened facilities are now available for the disposal of both black and grey wastewater catering to caravans, motorhomes and other tourists to Perth and Kinross.

Conveniently located on the south side of Broxden Park and Ride behind the waiting room, these facilities are easily accessible via signage. Broxden Park serves as a pivotal transport hub on the Glasgow Road approach to Perth, catering to a diverse range of commuters and visitors alike.

This initiative marks the first of its kind for Perth and Kinross Council and was constructed in response to the increased influx of mobile holidaymakers since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The newly established disposal point will be open 24 hours a day from Easter weekend until the end of October every year. Initially, they will be free to use as part of an introductory phase.
