Restrictions on the type of rubbish accepted at the city’s two recycling centres will be lifted on Monday.
Baldovie will once again accept garden waste and Riverside will take bulky and mixed waste.
The Courier recently highlighted the difficulties people were having in getting rid of their rubbish, with many forced to drive miles across the city because they had been refused permission to use a particular dump.
Last week the city council’s policy and resources committee agreed to allow both centres to take the full range of waste.
The restrictions had been brought in as a cost-saving measure in the 2013/14 budget.
Environment convener Craig Melville said: “I don’t think there is any shame in saying this particular budget saving has not worked out the way we hoped it would.
“Thankfully we are in a position to rectify it.”
Ending the bans will incur additional spending of £52,000 for the remainder of the financial year, although this can be met from the council’s contingency fund.
The extra cost of waste handling and transport is expected to be £85,000 in a full year.
The council has revealed that despite the unpopularity of the bans, recycling generally has seen an increase in recent months.
Between April and July the amount of paper and cardboard collected rose by 38% compared to the same period last year, while there was a 22% rise in the quantity of electrical goods handed in.
There were also rises of 9% in the amount of glass collected and 4% in wood.
The amount of garden waste being turned into compost fell by 10%, but a council officer said this was likely to be because of the poor start to the summer.
He added that the provision of additional brown bins had helped to offset the drop in garden waste coming into Riverside.
A third recycling centre at Marchbanks was closed to the public in the spring as part of the same drive to cut costs. The council is now reviewing this decision.
