RECYCLING units across Glasgow are to be removed because of concerns they are being regularly misused and abused by fly-tippers.has already started to take away some of these dry, mixed recycling units from supermarkets, shopping centres, train stations and other public sites across the city.
The council is also reassuring staff they will be redeployed on to other duties while working the same hours from their current depot. “The council claims that these recycling points are being abused by shopkeepers and by people fly-tipping but we think the council should be challenging shopkeepers. There are also concerns that there is not enough capacity for people to recycle in their own bins even with the extra wheelie bin being introduced to Glasgow homes this summer as part of a drive to stop people putting their rubbish in the wrong containers.
“There are a number of reasons for this. It could be that the distance is too far, or they have mobility issues, so I would like to see these units continue in areas that use them a lot.
