Local bins and recycling news
AI-generated summary, reviewed before publication. Checked 18 September 2026.
East Dunbartonshire confirmed plans in March 2026 to remove its seven remaining recycling bring sites during the week of 6 April. The council estimated annual savings of £43,000 and said fly-tipping, litter and incorrectly deposited waste were increasing costs. It argued that kerbside collections already accepted the same materials, including glass, cans and paper. Residents with excess recycling were offered additional bins free of charge, while anyone unable to use household collections was encouraged to contact the council. Officials said earlier site removals had made little difference to overall recycling figures.
