“The threat of not having bins emptied because they are contaminated will be a big concern.”
Glasgow residents could have their bins taken away if recycling is repeatedly contaminated, as the council steps up its efforts to increase the amount of waste reused.
The extra bin would take an expanded range of plastic pots, tubs, trays with film and bottles and would sit alongside a bin for mixed paper, card and cardboard. However, Labour’s Cllr Jill Brown said while everyone wants to see more recycling, she is concerned about how the contamination policy will be policed.
If the issue continued, the council would take away the bins and people would be directed to other options, such as public recycling sites. There will be “new stickers with pictures rather than words to actually clarify what should go into each bin”. “That should hopefully help with some of the language barriers that we have often got to deal with,” the official said.
