Falkirk Council's 'black box' collections - which accept glass, textiles and small electrical items - will come to an end next year, with the start of a national scheme, that will see people return bottles and cans for cash.
Councillors on Falkirk Council 's executive agreed on Tuesday that a contract should be put in place to continue collecting food waste every week and absorbent hygiene products every fortnight.
The current contract will end on September 3, 2023 and the new one - estimated to be worth around £1 million - will last for at least seven years.
