“Broken glass is obviously a serious public and animal safety risk'
There will be two million more cans and bottles littered on Glasgow’s streets as a result of the delay in Scotland’s container recycling programme, local councillors have claimed.
Speaking at the Glasgow full council meeting last week, Scottish Greens councillor Jon Molyneux asked: “Broken glass is obviously a serious public and animal safety risk. It also jeopardises efforts this council is taking to promote active travel. Will the convenor write to the UK Government asking how they now intend to support the council to deal with this unacceptable problem, which would have been greatly reduced by Scotland’s DRS.
He added that a Zero Waste Scotland report highlighted “that the implementation of a DRS scheme would have the potential to reduce the amount of littering of these items and significantly improve the quality of the city environment.
