Edinburgh bin strike

Any fellow Edinburgh resident wanting to share plans for bins over the next 10 days?

I stay fairly central with a rat problem already at the communal bins :(

I hear there's a meeting in the next few days to decide if further Scottish councils' waste operatives will go on strike, too. I'm already planning just in case.

If your neighbouring council isn't on strike, you could bag up stuff and take it to one of their tips. We're not far from the borders of 2 other counties so hoping that if ours strikes, they won't!

In Edinburgh you have to be a resident to use the dumps so assuming it's the same elsewhere you couldn't use one in neighbouring area
