Everything to know as the South Side moves to three-weekly bin pick up HOMES in the South Side of Glasgow will move to a reduced bin collection from today - marking the end to a city-wide rollout. Main door properties who rely on a kerbside collection for their green wheelie bin will transfer from a fortnightly to a three-weekly pick-up. The controversial change began as a pilot in the north east in October last year, before the Glasgow Times revealed plans for it be rolled out across the city. Glasgow City Council has been adamant the change is a vital step in reducing the amount of waste dumped into the city's landfills, while simultaneously driving up recycling rates - which are currently lagging behind other areas throughout the UK.
