A number of bins that were either damaged or no longer fit for purpose have been replaced with new, larger units.
Cllr Brash said: “I know that residents, including those in the brilliant Burn Valley North Residents’ Association, have been asking for these new bins for years and so I am over the moon to have been able to finally deliver them.
"The Burn Valley Gardens hold a special place in my heart, and I will continue to fight for more investment both here and right across the ward.”
