Glasgow City Council have issued new guidance concerning bin collection for homes or families in the city with a confirmed or suspected coronavirus case.
Any individuals within Glasgow households with a confirmed or suspected Covid-19 case should follow the following advice to dispose of their household waste to ensure the virus is not spread via personal waste:
- All personal waste such as used tissues and disposable cleaning cloths should be placed securely in a plastic bag or bin liner.
- This plastic bag should then be placed in another plastic bag and securely tied.
- These bags must be stored separately to other waste for at least 72 hours before being placed in the green/metal general waste bin.
The Council have also taken the decision to suspend the collection of food waste, brown recycling bins and purple glass bins in Glasgow until further notice.
General Waste bin collection and blue recycling bin collection will continue as normal, food waste should be placed into your green/metal general waste bin.
People are also asked not to present their purple bin for collection.
All household waste recycling centres are also closed until further notice, with the collection of bulky waste also suspended.
