How do we improve the Bulk Uplift Service?

Today, I made a walkabout in the Woodside area (including Napiershall Street and North Woodside Road) to observe the bulk items on the street. Residents have requested a return to a weekly uplift, at designated locations. I am supporting this request as it is best option for this community. 

At the moment, some residents phone to make an appointment to request bulk items to be uplifted. Others leave bulk items at specific sites on the basis that they will be uplifted without a phone call.

There is an need to improve the bulk uplift service and promote recycling of many of these items, perhaps giving them to charities or putting them in recycling bins, rather than dumping them on the street.

More cardboard can be put in blue recycling bins. Don't miss out on reducing Glasgow's waste going to the landfill site at Cathkin Braes and help cut our landfill tax.
