Waste and population in Stirling
Stirling Council serves a population of around 95,000 people across the city of Stirling and surrounding towns such as Dunblane and Callander, along with a wide rural area in central Scotland. The region combines historic urban centres with extensive countryside and national park areas.
The council manages a significant volume of household waste each year, typically in the region of 35,000–50,000 tonnesacross general refuse, recycling, and garden waste collections. Waste levels reflect a relatively small population spread across a large geographic area.
Waste output is influenced by tourism, particularly around historic sites and the nearby Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, as well as rural living. These factors contribute to steady waste generation, with seasonal increases in visitor-heavy areas.
