Glasgow's Big Bin Problem

Bags of rubbish left beside a council bin on Miller Street - just off George Square and only a few minutes walk from Glasgow City Chambers.

The City Council is in denial but what Glasgow needs is bigger bins, more bins and/or more frequently emptied bins.

Roman Bins vs Glasgow Bins (October 21, 2022)

Roman rubbish bins are rather stylish, I'll give you that!

But unlike Glasgow local Romans don't seem to use them as a dumping ground even when they're full to overflowing.

So while Rome has a real problem with graffiti its city centre streets are relatively clean compared to Glasgow.   

Meanwhile Glasgow's problem is that its bins are too small to accommodate larger items and people have just got used to dumping their rubbish on the pavement.

All of which means that compared to the Italian capital Glasgow is a manky mess.
