Complaints that Edinburgh refuse workers allegedly "launched" food recycling bins back onto the pavement and left them broken are being investigated by the council.
Furious residents have taken to social media to flag incidents where kerbside caddies have been found damaged after being emptied.
One resident said on Twitter that "almost all" of the food bins on Barntongate Drive had been "launched back onto the pavement" leaving "many of them now broken or requiring attention".
