Important announcement

Unforeseen operational resource challenges over the weekend mean that our food waste collection service is suspended today, Monday 3 November.

If your food waste bin was due to be emptied today, please take in your bin and present on the next collection day, Monday 10 November.

Green bin collections in a small number of streets in the Lenzie, Kirkintilloch and Bearsden area are also affected. If your green bin has not been emptied today, please leave it on the kerbside for collection tomorrow, Tuesday 4 November.

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

Collaborative Contracts are developed at a number of levels to provide best value.

These aggregate requirements across a number of organisations to reduce costs through bulk purchase, and identify suppliers who are able to ensure supply, and possibly support, of the particular commodity item through the lifespan of the contract.
