Johnstone councillor urges Scottish Government and firms to meet in the middle after delay to bottle deposit return scheme

A Johnstone councillor is urging businesses and the Scottish Government to work out their differences following a delay to the launch of a bottle and can deposit return scheme.

The scheme was due to start in July and is designed to reduce littering by introducing a mandatory but refundable 20p deposit on all bottles and cans sold in shops.

People can get their 20p back when empty items are returned to the retailer to be recycled.
