Marking 90 years of the 268th Glasgow Boys' Brigade

Due to operational issues we have had to suspend our food waste collection service for a number of streets in Milngavie and Bishopbriggs today.

If your food waste bin is not collected today, please take in your bin and present on the next collection day, Friday 14 November.

Brown and blue collections in a small number of streets in the Bishopbriggs and Kirkintilloch area are also affected. If your brown and blue bins has not been emptied today, please leave it on the kerbside for collection and it will be collected by the service at the earliest opportunity.

Our teams will be working hard to minimise the impact, and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.

See list of streets affected.

There was much celebration in Bishopbriggs this weekend as the 268th Glasgow Boys' Brigade marked their 90th Anniversary.

Depute Provost Colette McDiarmid was a guest at the anniversary dinner and met Captain John Armour, Rev Ian Taylor (the group’s chaplain) and lots of ex-members and staff alongside current staff.

She said, “The work that this organisation has done over the decades and continues to do means so much to the local community and they should be proud of their legacy and durability. Without organisations like the BBs our society would be so much poorer.

“I genuinely believe that the added value they bring to local families is invaluable and on behalf of the people of East Dunbartonshire I’d like to thank everyone involved for their hard work, commitment and service over the years.”
