New glass collection bins are wheeled out

The delivery of 41,000 new household glass recycling bins across Stirling has been rolled out.

It follows a recent review of glass recycling that Stirling Council say will lead to improvements in the collection service for residents and result in annual savings of around £300,000.

The local authority says, although it aimed to supply all households with the new bins, some may have been missed.

Anybody who has not yet received theirs should email recycle4stirling@stirling. gov.uk (include your name, address and email address) and arrangements will be made.

Residents can start using their new bin straight away and are asked to leave old glass boxes empty at the kerbside on the next scheduled glass collection day so they can be removed.

The current four-week collection schedule remains in place until January 5, 2026.

From January 6, glass collections will move to every eight weeks.

The new 140 litre bin provides more capacity than the 55-litre box, meaning fewer collections.
