Local bins and recycling news

AI-generated summary, reviewed before publication. Checked 18 September 2026.

Angus’s controversial recycling changes were showing results, according to January 2026 reporting by The Courier. The district recycled 53.3% of household waste in 2024, ranking fifth among Scotland’s 32 councils. Waste officers said glass collections at community points had recovered to previous kerbside levels after glass was removed from household recycling bins. They estimated an extra 660 tonnes of food waste had been collected between July 2024 and November 2025, nearly 17% above previous levels. Councillor Beth Whiteside welcomed the improvement; the council hoped the changes would save £500,000 annually.
