Huge mountain of rubbish builds outside Scots dump as bin strikes continue across country

A mountain of rubbish has been piled up on the pavement outside a Scots recycling centre as bin strikes across the country continue. Shocking pictures taken outside Dawsholm Recycling Centre in Glasgow shows discarded household furniture including sofas and microwaves being left along the fence.

Piles of bin bags and cardboard boxes have covered the pavement with mattresses and washing machines completely blocking the gates of the dump. The pile continues to grow as members of the public arrived throughout the day on Monday to discard their unwanted goods.

Signs demanding better pay have been attached to the fence of the centre as GMB Scotland members stand at the official picket line. Similar scenes have occurred on the pavement of Easter Queenslie Road while the recycling centre is shut.
