The rollout of a £40 garden waste permit in Renfrewshire is predicted to make the council £828,000 in the current financial year, a report has said.The scheme, which formed part of the SNP administration's budget in March, is set to be introduced from Monday, July 10, but households can apply now.The change – which will operate as a £40 charge per brown bin – means residents who want their garden waste collected will need a valid permit displayed on their bin.Any bin presented with garden waste inside that does not have one will not be lifted after the first collection following implementation of the initiative.However, there is no need for a permit for those presenting just food waste in the brown bin – since its uplift is a statutory requirement for councils.Renfrewshire Live, the new free app dedicated to bringing you around the clock breaking news, is now available to download.Powered by the Paisley Daily Express, Renfrewshire Live is your go-to source for news, features and sport with live coverage provided direct to the app, seven days a week.The dedicated team of experienced journalists, responsible for the publication of the award-winning Express, will focus on breaking news, day and night, across Renfrewshire’s towns and villages.There is also a dedicated St Mirren section that will follow every kick of the ball with the Buddies.
