The cost of a garden waste permit in East Renfrewshire is set to rise from £40 to £60 as the council looks to raise money to help plug a £19m budget gap.
Council officials have said the above inflation increase would cover the cost of delivering the service and generate a “small amount” of extra income.
They are also planning to roll out a new one-off charge of £60 for an additional bin. A second bin would require another £60 per year permit.
