·         GCC will provide a limited phone line initially for 3 days a week for residents who cannot access the internet.

·         Payment can be made by credit or debit card on our secure site and will be taken upfront.

·         Residents will be provided with terms and conditions which provide information on their rights and obligations.

·         Charges are:

-       £35 for up to 10 standard items (£35 for each number up to 10 thereafter).

-       £35 for each large electrical item – these will be collected separately for recycling.

-       Special large items such as marble fireplaces, sheds, cast iron baths will continue to be charge on a half-hourly basis. . A full list is available on the GCC website - https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/bulkywaste·
