\n A spokesperson for the council says the issue was due to having the incorrect code for the close door after it was recently changed, however Rehman says he had given the council the code as well as his phone number to get in touch if there were issues. \u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n The council says the service will be fully restored. \u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n Rehman, whose family clean the close and maintain the buillding, says the issue has been made worse by the fact there are not enough blue bins for the number of flats, and that on occasion they have been left due to becomimg contaminated with other waste. \u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n He explained: \u201cThere\u2019s only three blue bins when there should be six because there are nine flats.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThere used to be six, but they took three away. I thought they took them away because they were going to replace them because they had a broken lid or handle.\u201d\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n He continued: \u201cI\u2019ve got [the bin men] on recording saying \u2018we\u2019re not taking the bins because they\u2019re contaminated\u2019 and I\u2019m like \u2018it\u2019s going to get contaminated because you\u2019ve not come for a month\u2019.\u00a0\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI reported the blue bins last week and they eventually came [on Thursday] but they were overflowing because they hadn\u2019t been picked up for two months.\u00a0\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWhat they\u2019ve done is they\u2019ve taken the stuff from the top of the bins and just thrown them at the side, so rubbish is still lying there.\u201d\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n A Glasgow City Council spokesperson: \u201cWe are sorry for the difficulties with refuse collections that residents at this address have experienced recently.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe were unable to access the back court for a period of time due to having incorrect code for the close door.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThe issue has now been rectified and with all bins now been emptied, we will work with residents to ensure the service is fully restored.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rehman Ghafoor, who owns family-run business Smokin Ideas on Gallowgate, says there have been issues with bin collections…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":490618,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7826],"tags":[748,918,4884,712,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-490617","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-glasgow","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-glasgow","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-scotland","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115354790410695933","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/490617","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=490617"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/490617\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/490618"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=490617"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=490617"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=490617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
