Brown bin collection in Glasgow suspended until December

While the bin strikes in the city have come to an end, Glasgow City Council is still recovering from the eight-day industrial action which left bins across the city filling up - and often overflowing - with rubbish.

It has now been announced that brown bins - which are for food and garden waste - will not be collected until December 7.

A statement said: “Please do not present your brown bin until your next collection date after 6 December, 2021.

“We apologise to residents for any inconvenience caused due to the disruption of waste and recycling collections in Glasgow.”
