A huge pile of food waste dumped at a Glasgow recycling plant has been described as a health hazard for workers and the public by concerned union members.
Glasgow city council assured workers and residents living near the Blochairn Recycling Centre that the problem was a short term issue with their compost contractor, who is unable to receive its usual quantity of waste due to an update of their waste management system.
And they insisted there had been no breach of health and safety standards at the site, and accused the trade union of scaremongering.
