Glasgow City Council is piloting the change in three parts of the city which will see new waste and recycling hubs installed on the road.
The move is aimed at eliminating missed collections, giving residents 'back' the rear of their properties, and helping the council's 'limited and stretched' resources go as far as possible.There will be four different bins at each hub which will serve a maximum of 40 flats or 26 flats in the Pollokshields area. The bins will be separated into general waste, paper and card, plastic containers, and food waste.
It's hoped that it will encourage residents to drop their rubbish off in smaller amounts more regularly. General waste will be picked up every four days while recycling will be collected every eight days.The first trial will start in streets in Pollokshields, Haghill, and Anderston. “We need to make sure the Council’s limited and stretched resources go as far as they can, that health and well-being issues staff raise with us are properly addressed and that recycling rates and the effectiveness of household waste collections improves.
