• Registering for Council Tax
• Finding out which days your refuse bins will be collected
• If you have a garden, you will need to register with the Highland Council to have your garden waste collected
• Updating your address (bank, credit card, doctors, DWP, DVLA etc.)
• Shop around for energy suppliers and ensure you are on the best tarrif for you (see our energy advice page for more details)
