Focus on: Litter picking
As a council, we are responsible for keeping roads, pavements, parks and other open space areas litter free.
So as part of the campaign, we have employed an additional six litter pickers who work on a four-on, four-off shift basis and are each assigned to a specific area of Renfrewshire.
They tackle any litter issues in the area and also look to undertake additional tidying and cleaning of their area where possible.
Renfrew, Paisley and Johnstone town centres are litter picked on a daily basis in addition to this further investment.
Due to Coronavirus, this programme is not operating fully as staff continue to support other essential services - but here's an indication of the areas that our teams visit over their 16-day programme.

We also have our Wardens and Rapid Response Team patrolling Renfrewshire every day to clear our streets and try to ensure they are as litter free as possible.
But we need you to help us.
If everyone uses the public bins provided or keeps litter with them until they reach a bin, then Renfrewshire will be a cleaner place to live.
Hundreds of tonnes of litter is dropped across Renfrewshire each year and if we can #TeamUptoCleanUp to stop this happening then our communities will see the benefit.
If you think you can help and you've got the time to volunteer, visit our Facebook page and let's work together to make Renfrewshire a better place.
