Glasgow households will soon see changes to the way they recycle thanks to a £21million funding boost from the Scottish Government.

While touring the facility Councillor Ruari Kelly, city convener for neighbourhood services and assets, spoke of how he hopes increased funds will help to clean up the city’s habits for good.“Blue bins will now be separated into two, so you’ll have your paper and cardboard in one and plastics and tins in the other.lids or Tetra Pak in Glasgow but that will change with this investment.

“Our Blochairn centre is showing its age and the funding will help us to build a new recycling facility that ensures material from household recycling bins is sorted much more effectively.“When we succeed, Scotland succeeds.”In addition to the Scottish Government investment, Glasgow City Council has committed £20 million of its own budget to develop a new Materials Recycling Facility to process the new twin collections, alongside other waste centre facilities.

The project is expected to save over 6,000 tonnes of CO2 every year with Councillor Jon Molyneux, co-leader of the Glasgow Greens, welcoming the changes.“For as long as there have been Green councillors in Glasgow we have made the case for better, more reliable services and for increasing the range of materials people can recycle at home.“As a result, Glaswegians will finally be able to recycle all kinds of plastics at home, making a positive difference for the planet.
