Discarded food waste has lain in grey bins in one Glasgow area for about two years, a meeting heard as a council officer faced complaints over collections. 

John Thorburn, chair of NG Homes board, told the Springburn and Robroyston Area Partnership about the problem, which he has reported to no avail.

Thorburn said yesterday: “A particular problem around us is actually the grey bins. They haven’t been done for two years as you have stopped collecting them.
