Last week it had emerged Perth & Kinross Council were in talks of changing fortnightly collections to monthly.

However, a spokesman from Perth & Kinross Council confirmed to Perth Gazette said: “A report will be going before the Environment Committee on Wednesday to propose a trial that we see waste bin sizes reduced, however the collections will still run fortnightly.”

Over 5,000 new SMALLER waste bins will be delivered to surrounding areas of Perth in a bid to cut waste. However, fortnightly collections will remain.
