“This is a recycling tragedy, not a strategy.”
Recycling units across Glasgow are to be removed because of concerns they are being regularly misused and abused by fly-tippers.
The council is also reassuring staff they will be redeployed onto 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. “The bins are frequently contaminated with all types of waste that means that potentially recyclable materials cannot be recycled.
