'In other countries they reward you for recycling because they know it takes a bit of time to do so.'
Calls for a food voucher reward scheme to act as an incentive to encourage people from disadvantaged backgrounds to recycle have been made to Glasgow City Council.
Mr Mitchell said: “I am all for recycling especially if it is going to put £3 million back into services. “In other countries, for example Ireland, they reward you for recycling because they know it takes a bit of time to do so. Families don’t have time to sit and wash out bottles, especially nowadays.
“It could work like the green flag award for schools which were awarded green flags for successful recycling habits. A spokesman said: “Contamination of recyclable material and putting material into the wrong bins affects Glasgow’s recycling performance and makes the disposal of household waste more expensive than it needs to be.
