Recycling hubs allowing bulk items to be reused should be introduced
GMB trade union convenor Chris Mitchell believes that introducing a “mass recycling scheme” similar to ones set up in Belgium and France would help deter further fly-tipping hot spots from “popping up” in the city.
Restrictions are in place on electrical equipment for safety reasons and pick-ups are undertaken by charities. “It allows someone in a less fortunate position than someone else to gain access to household goods like tables, chairs or TVs etc. “When it comes to these “recycling hubs”, you could pick two or three depots which are in the best position in the city for people to come and visit.
A spokesperson said: “The city’s four household waste recycling centres already provide a wide range of recycling options for bulky waste and are very well used by the Glasgow public, with almost 600,000 visits last year alone.and safety issues with re-using certain items and we also have a duty to ensure that any items left at our waste centres are disposed of appropriately.
