TWO weeks ago in this column I wrote about Glasgow City Council’s introduction of a bulk uplift charge which came into force earlier this month.
For a service that had been free for decades before Glasgow had the misfortune of being ruled by the first ever nationalist administration in the City Chambers, from now on it’ll be £35 for each large electrical item disposed of in a responsible way by Glasgow taxpayers.
For an average family needing to clear out their home, this charge could run into the hundreds of pounds.
When I questioned the SNP on the fairness of this policy the Council responded saying that residents could still dispose of bulk waste at recycling centres free of charge.
