CONCERNS have been raised about the introduction of three weekly bin collections in West Dunbartonshire.
We previously reported that the plans were initially approved during the budget meeting earlier this year and aim to increase recycling rates across the local authority as much as possible.
At the IRED committee, councillor Jonathon McColl said he was shocked to hear that the online survey did not ask for the public view on this and that very little feedback had been received from locals including community groups on the move to three weekly collections. "We have a significant problem here with a large seagull population. Has consideration been given to increasing capacity within the team to dealing with the increased flytipping?”
During the meeting, the Labour administration moved the recommendation by officers to approve the waste strategy and five-year action plan developed by council officers, but an amendment by councillor McColl asked members to agree that they remained unconvinced that there would be any significant increase in recycling by reducing residual waste collection to a three weekly cycle.
But council leader Martin Rooney said the waste strategy wasn’t all about the three weekly collections – but responding to legislative requirements and the Scottish Government requirements to help tackle climate change.
