The bin lorry fleet in Scotland’s biggest city would fail new pollution laws set by the council that operates them, claim union chiefs.
Many of Glasgow ’s “dilapidated” refuse collection vehicles would be unlikely to pass Low Emission Zone (LEZ) rules being rolled out in June next year.
And the air quality laws being introduced by the city council could mean bin lorry drivers may be fined up to £480 if their vehicles fall foul of LEZs.
