Rubbish in Glasgow's Crawford Street in 1975

There's going to be a bin strike: Will we be able to spot any difference?
Time was when uncollected milk was a sign that something was amiss. Now the red flag is raised if no bins appear. Are the folk on holiday? Ill? Who would miss the chance to have their smelly waste taken away asap? Rubbish provokes that kind of gut reaction. Hence the growing alarm at the prospect of a bin strike across Scotland from 14 August. Unison, Unite and GMB unions say the eight-day action in 26 of the 32 council areas will mean bins are not emptied “from the smallest villages to the biggest cities”.
