Chris Mitchell, who has been involved in the sector for 20 years, says the rodents are 'taking over the city'.
Disgusting footage has emerged of Glasgow cleansing workers jumping to avoid rats leaping from bins during collections in the city.
A second clip taken on Duke Wynd, near High Street, shows workers kicking large general waste bins to disperse at least a dozen before they can be collected. Chris Mitchell, who worked in cleansing for 20 years, branded the situation 'out of control' and said the vermin population has grown more in the last two years than throughout his career.
"Rats are getting into people's homes, their gardens, their bins. We face vermin every single day. Binmen see at least 10 to 20 rats a day. They carry disease, it's disgusting.
