Workers at a recycling plant in Glasgow have raised concerns that they will not be able to meet the city council’s recycling targets unless the workforce is increased.
has insisted that this is not the case and that waste that can’t be recycled at Blochairn will be sent to the Glasgow Renewable Energy and Recycling Centre where it will be converted into electricity.
“The council is currently promoting recycling and how important it is for the city. We need to save the planet and everyone has a role to play. “The council is looking to promote further recycling by separating the cardboard from the cans, but what is the point of promoting that when you don’t actually have enough staff on the belt to process it.
“When separate bins for fibre and containers are introduced next year for kerbside collections, we will be using an independent contractor until the Blochairn replacement is open to ensure the wider range of materials to be collected will be properly processed in the intervening period.
