The site has become a magnet for car loads of teenagers at night
The Hill Top car park in the Bathgate hills could be closed at night after the £4000 smart bin at the site was set on fire for a second time.
The car park, off a quiet back road high above the northern edge of the town, has also been used regularly for fly-tipping. Operations manager Andy Johnston explained that the reason the smart bin had been put there was to collect the fast food cartons that make up the bulk of the rubbish being left. The bin compacts the rubbish and alerts council staff when it is full and needs to be emptied.”
He pointed out that other car parks are locked at night and there has been a significant drop in littering and vandalism in the locked car parks.
