The Glasgow bin strikes which have taken place over the last couple of weeks have led to bins overflowing. 

While cleansing workers returned to work today, it could still take some time for your bin to be emptied. 

If you need to empty your bin soon, there are recycling centres where you can take your rubbish...

Where can I empty my bins today?

You can take your bins to Shieldhall Household Waste Recycling Centre in the south west of the city or Easter Queenslie Household Waste Recycling Centre in Glasgow's east end.

These are the only two recycling centres operating in the city today, open from 8am-6pm, with last entry at 5:45pm. 

These openings are subject to change, so Glasgow City Council advises people to keep up to date on its website, which will be updated as more centres become available. 

When will my brown bin be collected?

Brown bins which hold food and garden waste will not be collected until November 23 due to the industrial action. 

Glasgow City Council is therefore asking residents not to present their brown bins until this date. 

The same goes for bulky waste collection, which will not take place until November 23. 

When will the bin strikes ends?

Cleansing workers have gone back to work today after 8-days of strike action. 

However, the Glasgow Times reported yesterday that more bin strikes could  take place in the run up to Christmas, after former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn stood in support of the striking workers.
