Waste Collection Services Update

A package of changes to waste collection services across the Stirling Council area were approved at a meeting of Stirling Council on 30th June.

With the ongoing Climate Emergency firmly at the top of the Council’s agenda, Councillors gave their backing to a suite of plans that will encourage a shift in culture to increase recycling, and bring a reduction in residential waste going to landfill.

Included in the measures which will have a phased introduction in the next 2 years are:

A new four-weekly collection model for the grey (general waste) and blue (plastics, cans and cartons) bins, coming into effect by July 2021
Roll out of new ‘comb lift’ bins to replace existing ‘diamond lift’ stock, starting February 2021
Introduction of an opt-in garden waste collection permit (£35 per-year, per bin) by April 2021
Combination of glass collection into blue bins alongside plastic, cans and cartons when the National Deposit Return Scheme arrives in July 2022.
