Edinburgh's council is planning to scrap regular collections for glass recycling by using sensors to help them tell when the bins are full.
The initiative, which is part of the council's plan to become a 'smart city', also aims to reduce noise for residents who live near the communal bin areas.
More than 3,000 bins across the capital are to move to 'dynamic' collections which means the bins are only emptied when they are almost full.
