The Neighbourhood Regeneration and Sustainability (NRS) Waste Management and Recycling Team at Glasgow City Council is inviting residents to participate in a short recycling survey as part of an ongoing review of how contamination in household recycling bins is identified and managed.
Contamination occurs when non-recyclable items are placed in recycling bins, which can reduce recycling efficiency, increase processing costs, and limit the environmental benefits of recycling. The survey will help the Council better understand residents' views and identify opportunities to improve recycling services and reduce contamination.
The survey is open to all Glasgow householders for six weeks from 1 September 2026 and will help inform future policy and service improvements. Feedback will support efforts to improve recycling guidance, reduce contamination, and help Glasgow recycle more and waste less.
Residents can complete the survey in approximately five minutes and are encouraged to share their views, whether they are confident recyclers or sometimes find recycling challenging and the responses will help shape future improvements to waste and recycling services across Glasgow.
