About bin collections in Renfrewshire Council

Renfrewshire Council covers approximately 180,000 residents across Paisley, Renfrew, Johnstone, Erskine, Linwood, Bridge of Weir and surrounding towns and villages in west central Scotland. It is one of Scotland's 32 unitary councils. Waste and recycling collections are managed directly by the council. Full bin service information is available at renfrewshire.gov.uk/bins-and-recycling.

Most properties receive four kerbside bin collections, all on the same day of the week. The grey bin collects general household waste. The blue bin collects paper and card. The green bin collects glass, plastic bottles, tins, aerosols and cartons. The brown bin collects food waste and, for properties with a valid permit, garden waste. Collections rotate so that different bins are collected on different weeks — check your calendar for your specific schedule. Bins must be out by 7am. For missed collections or to report issues, visit renfrewshire.gov.uk or call 0300 300 0300.

Renfrewshire's Household Waste Recycling Centre is at Underwood Road, Paisley, PA3 1TJ. Visit renfrewshire.gov.uk/bins-and-recycling/household-waste-recycling-centres for opening hours and accepted items.
