Living in Glasgow, I've seen firsthand how the current waste management system is affecting our beloved city. With the  less frequent bin collections, overflowing rubbish bins have become a common sight across our neighbourhoods. Not only does this tarnish the beauty of our communities, but it also poses serious health risks, with an increase in rodent activity and potential infections spreading. 

The environmental impact is undeniable. Overflowing bins lead to litter scattering across streets, parks, and public areas, polluting our green spaces and threatening local wildlife. Trash is not just an eyesore; it contributes to the broader issues of pollution and climate change that we are all striving to combat.

Other cities and towns across the UK have successfully managed to improve cleanliness and reduce rodent infestation by implementing weekly waste collection. Glasgow, a city known for its rich history and vibrant community, should not lag behind. By increasing our bin collection frequency to weekly intervals, we can ensure a cleaner, safer environment for everyone, from families taking their children to school to businesses relying on a neat community to attract customers.

Frequent rubbish collection will not only help in reducing infection risks associated with rodents but also instill a sense of pride and responsibility among residents towards maintaining our public spaces. It can lead to long-term savings in public health expenditure by curbing the spread of diseases transmitted by pests.
