Workers at West Dunbartonshire Council will be going on strike for four days next week.

The local authority confirmed on social media that there will be significant disruption to waste, recycling and cleansing services in the area as a result.

The industrial action is in response to the ongoing national pay negotiations being managed by COSLA on behalf of all Scottish Local Authorities.

This means that no bins will be collected between 11.59pm on Tuesday, September 6 and 11.59pm on Saturday, September 10.

Household waste bins will be collected as normal on September 1, 2, 5 and 6 if your normal collection day falls on these dates.

Other services, including street cleaning, the emptying of public waste bins, collection of commercial waste, bulk uplifts, flytipping and recycling centres will also be suspended during the same period.

 

 

A spokesperson from West Dunbartonshire Council said: "We recognise the impact this will have on our communities, and appreciate your patience and understanding.  A detailed recovery plan is being developed so the clean-up can begin immediately following the strike.

"Regular updates on the suspended services will be given on our website and social media channels, including information on when collections will restart.

"Please be aware that it may take time to get back to the normal schedule for collections after the strike has ended."
