DUE to the recent severe weather, bin collections in and around Glasgow have fallen behind schedule.
Councils are now scrambling to catch up, but it may be a while before the service is back to normal.
These are the latest notices from your local council on collections:

Place all bins out as normal for collection and an uplift will be attempted- particularly on main roads.
If residents’ recycling bins are not uplifted (blue and green lidded bins) or have been missed over the last week, take them back in until your next recycling collection is due. The council will pick it up then and any other additional recycling material that you leave beside it.
All brown bin collections have been suspended until Monday, March 12 and will resume a normal service on this date.
All missed black, non-recycling bins should be placed with your recycling bin that is due to be next collected and the council will uplift the bin on the same day as the recycling bin.
