Important announcement

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.

Fly-tipping (or illicit tipping) is an eyesore and can be dangerous, particularly to children and wildlife.

Where we can identify who has left the rubbish they will have to remove it or we will bill them for the cost of clearing it up. In some instances, fly-tippers may also be prosecuted. Where fly-tipping occurs on private ground, the owner of the ground is responsible for removing it.

  • Most household rubbish can be taken free of charge to the rubbih dump at Mavis Valley
  • The Council also offers a special uplift service from your home. Find out more about special uplift.
  • There are a number of bring sites located across East Dunbartonshire. See the list of bring sites in East Dunbartonshire
  • Any items not placed in the containers and lying on the ground can also be classed as fly-tipping and a fine enforced.
