Recycling units across Glasgow are to be removed because of concerns they are being regularly misused and abused by fly-tippers.
The GMB trade union believes that the council has already started to take away some of these units from supermarkets, shopping centres, train stations and other public sites across the city.
Workers, who say their positions are at risk of being made redundant, also fear this will have a negative impact on recycling rates in the city.
