Waste management

North West Recycling, near Rockcliffe, is planning a fourfold rise in the amount of rubbish processed.

Residents say rubbish was left for 12 weeks, causing an awful smell and attracting rats and foxes.

Some residents say changes to recycling arrangements are causing issues with flies and odour.

Following other parts of the UK, collections of fridges and freezers in Warwickshire are suspended.

There are concerns that more fridges and freezers could be fly tipped after problems with recycling.

A worker spotted smouldering rubbish in general waste that had been collected from Polwarth area of the city.

Scots have been urged not to throw away batteries, vapes or electrical goods in their household waste following a series of fires.
