Renfrewshire Warden Service

Home > Services > Community and living > Crime and law enforcement

The Renfrewshire Wardens service carry out a range of environmental enforcement and community safety duties. Formed from the amalgamation and redesign of the neighbourhood warden service and the town centre wardens, the service aims to make a significant improvement to the environment to deliver a cleaner and safer Renfrewshire.

The Renfrewshire Wardens Service operate from 7am to 10pm, 7 days a week, across the whole of Renfrewshire.

The Wardens have a crucial role in Clean Renfrewshire through investigation of environmental crimes, enforcement of legislation and community clean-ups. They also promote community safety by dealing with minor complaints for antisocial behaviour such as vandalism, graffiti, noise disturbance and youth disorder.

The wardens provide these services:

• Community safety
• Litter, smoking and dog fouling enforcement
• Fly-tipping and trade waste enforcement
• noise enforcement service
• Clean Renfrewshire
• vehicle idling
• car parking enforcement
