Proposal to introduce brown bin charge

Plans to charge Falkirk residents to have their brown bins collected are being considered by Falkirk Council.

The local authority is meeting tomorrow to discuss the proposal.

It would see a £35 annual charge for brown bin collections.

Falkirk Council say the move would raise £350,000 a year.

There are also plans to introduce booking slots at recycling centres, to cut down on carbon emissions.
