> When we moved in we were told the bins will be collected twice per week.
I doubt that's true. Did you check the [council's website with the calendar](https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/forms/refuseandrecyclingcalendar/AddressSearch.aspx)? In mine it's every 8 days for standard waste and 16 days for recycling.
I was in a similar situation as you and had my cardboard boxes in a corner for a wee while (and then took them down on the exact day after collection). The issue is that lots of people do not bother demo-ing their boxes and they end up taking way more space than necessary thus filling up the bins super quickly. |
