Glasgow residents could have their bins taken away if recycling is repeatedly contaminated, as the council steps up its efforts to increase the amount of waste reused.
The option is included in a package of proposed policies, put to councillors this week, which would also see a new bin for households with kerbside collections.
Council officials said removing the recycling service from residents would be a “last resort” with plenty of time for people to take out contaminated waste, but opposition councillors are worried it could lead to neighbours policing each other.
