Union bosses have ordered refuse removal teams not to enter the area on Earl Street in Scotstoun, which has been plagued with vermin problems.
A Glasgow street's bin shelters have been declared a no-go area for refuse collectors due to giant rats "the size of chihuahuas". Union bosses have ordered binmen not to enter the area on Earl Street in Scotstoun after they were overrun by vermin the size of small dogs.
Sam Whitehouse, 70, said: "We can't have our bins left all over the place. It is unsightly and unhygienic practice to have these in front of our houses. I've seen rats out the back, and there is a big problem with them. "It's only a matter of time before someone ends up ill because of this. Our members rightly feel that the issue needs to be sorted out and will not be stepping foot into the rear bin areas of Earl Street until the rat infestation is properly dealt with. There is an embankment that runs along the back of the properties where the rats nest. That is what is causing the problem."
"We've now been told that if they are full, it is up to us to find somewhere else for our household rubbish to go. I'm not fit to traipse around looking for a recycling point or a half-empty bin that doesn't belong to me.
