Dundee City Council’s environment director has given his assurance issues that caused problems at Riverside Civic Amenity Centre two Saturdays ago are being tackled.
Residents bringing recycling to the centre had to join a long queue as the skips were full.
West End councillor Fraser Macpherson raised the issue with the council and was told the problem was “due to an operational issue that was unrelated to the recent changes to the Recycling Centre”.
Mr Macpherson also sought assurances about tackling the flooding problem at the site that has previously resulted in interruptions in service.
The environment director responded: “Following an investigation by the city engineer, works are to be undertaken to deal with the immediate flooding issues.”
Mr Macpherson said it was important that the council reviewed what could be recycled at its two remaining sites at Baldovie and Riverside.
“If there are only two main sites left in the city following the Marchbanks closure, the two remaining sites must provide the full scope of services,” he said.
The environment director said this was an “interim arrangement” and service users unaware of the changes were still provided with a temporary facility at Baldovie and Riverside.
