Purple bins which are currently collected from kerbside properties will no longer be used once the Scottish Government’s controversial DRS (Deposit Return) scheme is launched.
Instead, people are expected to use the bottle return scheme where bottles are taken back to retailers, but it is not yet clear what residents are asked to do with glass that does not go back to shops, like jars.
Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.
