The deposit return scheme has been put on hold.
There will be two million more cans and bottles littered on Glasgow's streets as a result of the delay in Scotland's container recycling programme, local councillors have claimed.
Glasgow council is to write to the UK Government demanding how it will help with the problem of broken glass in the city after the material was excluded from the proposed deposit return scheme .Speaking at the Glasgow full council meeting last week, Scottish Greens councillor Jon Molyneux asked: "Broken glass is obviously a serious public and animal safety risk. It also jeopardises efforts this council is taking to promote active travel.
The convenor for neighbourhood, services and assets said plastic bottles and glass represented about nine per cent each of the waste while metal cans were equivalent to four per cent.
