The decision has been made for the council to focus on collections from flats, which make up most of the city's properties.

Some Glasgow families will have a 'six week gap' waiting for general waste bins to be collected over the Christmas holidays.

Scottish Greens councillor Anthony Carroll said the move will "deeply impact communities with front doors." "In Glasgow almost 68 per cent of homes are flatted with houses or bungalows making up just over 31 per cent of the city's housing stock. We are aiming to minimise the overall impact felt by the loss of service this year by focusing an additional effort on back courts and public sites where excess waste can build up quickly and cause environmental problems."
