Bin delay in Cumbernauld and Kilsyth has German connection again

Householders waiting for new bins may face a further wait after the council admitted that more of the items needed to be ordered 'due to unprecedented demand.'

However the matter is not as straightforward as it might be - after it emerged that the items are made in a depot in Germany.

This mirrors the situation in Cumbernauld 10 years ago when changese were last made to the way householders were required to process their rubbish.

Delays were commonplace given the shortage of bins and the distance involved between North Lanarkshire and the manufacturer.

A council spokesperson confirmed that the German firm had been chosen as no UK-based factory produces the bins in question.
