Recycling

Recycling waste is the most common way for people to help stop waste from going to landfill. East Renfrewshire Council operates several different facilities that allow you to recycle your waste, including a kerbside collection of paper, glass, cans and garden waste.

The process of recycling involves the collected materials being broken down and made into new products.
