Glasgow bin collections will be suspended next week due to the Queen's funeral and bank holiday.
Glasgow City Council has said that essential services will continue on Monday but other services will close. While cleansing operations for parks and street bins will go ahead as planned, there will be no domestic pick-ups.
Schools and nurseries are also set to close on September 19 as the funeral takes place while bereavement services including funerals that have already been booked will go ahead.

A spokesman for the local authority said: “On the day of the state funeral for Queen Elizabeth II, schools, council offices, and buildings will be closed to the public.
“Our focus will be on providing essential services to ensure vulnerable citizens receive support and the city remains safe.
“Critical frontline social work services will operate as normal, residential care facilities will have suitable cover and we are working on plans to ensure appropriate home care is in place for service users.
“Any funeral already confirmed with the council’s bereavement services for September 19 will go ahead as scheduled.
“Key city assets such as the Clyde Tunnel and the tidal weir will be monitored as usual and our roads team will provide emergency cover in case of accidents or other incidents.
“Household bin collections will not go ahead as scheduled on the 19th. We are currently working on plans to minimise the impact on residents and further information will be shared as soon as it is available.”
It's understood that the council is drawing up plans to catch up on the missed household bin collections.
The Queen's funeral will be held at Westminster Abbey in London.
