Household Refuse

Environmental Protection Services, Cleansing division’s fleet of modern refuse collection vehicles provides a weekly refuse collection to over 280,000 households in Glasgow.

This service is provided on the same day each week (excluding some public holidays) to households using either bin sacks or a wheeled bin. Multi storey blocks and some flatted dwellings are provided with large containers. These containers are likely to be emptied on a more frequent basis.

For larger household items such as cookers, fridges or furniture a bulk collection service is available. This service is free of charge for most items.

Enquiries concerning missed collections, information on which day of the week your refuse is collected, or for any refuse collection matter not covered in these pages please contact the Council Access Centre either by phone or email.
