To: Audit, Risk & Scrutiny Board
On: 13 March 2023 
Report by:  Lead Officer
Heading:  Charges for Bulk Items Uplift for the Elderly 
1. Summary
1.1. At its meeting on 22 August 2022, members of the Audit, Risk and Scrutiny
Board agreed an annual programme of activity for the Board for 2022/23. This
included a review of charges for bulk items uplifts for the elderly as part of the
programme of activity. 
2. Recommendations
The Board is asked to:
2.1. Approve 65 as the age for the term ‘elderly’ within the context of this review;
2.2. Note the progress contained within the report. 
3. Background
3.1. Residents of Renfrewshire can request special uplifts if they need any bulky
general waste collected from their home. This can be for between 1 and 20
items but cannot include hazardous, clinical, or toxic waste. Loose waste must
be bagged or tied in manageable bundles where necessary. In addition,
appliances such as washing machines, freezers, cookers etc are all charged
individually and cannot form part of the 1 to 20 items.
3.2. Ground clearances are when residents have more than 20 items and the charge
quoted is for a maximum of one hour’s work. However, if officers visit and
assess that it will take longer than this, they will contact the resident about the
additional costs before commencing any work. Again, domestic appliances are
charged individually and do not form part of a ground clearance.

3.3. Renfrewshire Council aims to collect item(s) as soon as possible within 14 days.
Residents must ensure any white goods have their doors removed or place in
a position where no one can access it. Special uplift requests for white goods
and general goods can be made at the same time, however white goods are
charged separately.
3.4. The charges for 2022/23 are £35.35 for a domestic uplift (1-20 items) and
£35.35 for each domestic white good. The ground clearance charges are
£83.80 covering a driver, a waste collector, and a vehicle, for a maximum of
one hour’s work. 
3.5. Residents who are council tenants are entitled to two special uplifts per year as
part of their rent charge, this is paid for from within the overall Housing Revenue
Account (HRA). This is achieved by providing their rent reference number when
making their booking.
3.6. The current scheme provides no free, discounted or exemptions for this service
for any other residents. 
4. Purpose of the Review
4.1. The key purpose of this review will be to:
1. Set out the current position in relation to bulk uplifts within Renfrewshire
Council;
2. Consider the impact of offering a free bulk uplift service for the elderly; and
3. Identify any other mitigations that could be recommended for the elderly
that the council could pursue within available resources. 
5. Scope of the Review and Timescales
5.1. In relation to 4.1(1) above, the focus of the review will be on research into
demographics within Renfrewshire; in particular, the elderly population and
current trends for existing service demand.
5.2. In relation to 4.1(2) above, the focus of the review will be on assessing the
financial and non-financial implications in relation to the provision of free bulk
uplifts for the elderly.
5.3. In relation to 4.1(3) above, the focus on the review will be exploring existing or
potential options available to the elderly within Renfrewshire through partner
organisations such as the third sector.
5.4. In relation to 4.1(3) above, consideration will be given to the existing services
provided within neighbouring local authorities in relation to free bulk uplifts for
the elderly to consider any benefits for Renfrewshire.
5.5. For clarity, the level of charges applied to bulk uplifts within Renfrewshire is
outwith the scope of this review.

5.6. It is proposed that the review commences following this meeting of the Audit,
Risk and Scrutiny Board and is progressed through subsequent board
meetings, with a report being submitted for approval 18 September 2023 and a
final report to Council 14 December 2023. The table below provides an outline
of the proposed timetable.

6. Progress Update
6.1. The review has been progressing well and research has commenced across all
areas within scope. This section will provide an update on the findings so far
which have reached a conclusion or a relevant point of interest to the review.
This update particularly focuses on the objectives within 5.1 and 5.4.
6.2. To continue with the review a definition is required on the age to be used in
relation to the term ‘elderly’ solely within the context of this review. It is proposed
in relation to this review that we utilise the age of 65 for both men and women
as being the most common age historically utilised for defining services for
‘elderly’ people. Therefore, the age of 65 will be assumed in relation to the term
elderly for the duration of this review where this is practical. If an exception to
this age is used, it will be clearly noted within the review.
6.3. Here we explore the demographics in relation to Renfrewshire, in particular the
elderly population and likely service trends based on this data; this is in relation
to scope objective 5.1.
6.3.1 Appendix 1, includes population projections developed by National Records of
Scotland (NRS), utilising the most up to date published records at the time of
preparation. This data forecasts the expected population across Renfrewshire
for all ages from birth to 90+ between 2018 and 2043. This information has
been used to provide analysis on the likely trends for the elderly based on the
demographics for Renfrewshire.

Page 4

6.3.2 The appendix 1 includes an analysis of the number and percentage of 65+
residents across Renfrewshire and forecast for each year. This starts at 18.7%
and 33,288 of our residents in 2018 and rises to a high of 24.9% and 45,976
residents by 2040.
6.3.3 In the table below I have provided an extract from Appendix 1, analysing the
proportion of tenants 65+ across the period 2023-2028. This clearly shows an
upwards trend in the volume and percentage of the Renfrewshire population
within the 65+ range across this period.
Renfrewshire Population Extract 2023-2028
Category 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028
Overall Population 180,266 180,689 181,091 181,502 181,870 182,256
65 Plus 36,144 36,877 37,586 38,496 39,350 40,125
% 65 Plus 20.05% 20.41% 20.76% 21.21% 21.64% 22.02%  
6.3.4 In order to consider this in the context of Scotland, information, again from the
NRS population estimates, has been used to compare Renfrewshire nationally
in relation to our elderly residents. Detailed analysis is contained in Appendix
2. 
6.3.5 This shows that Renfrewshire had the eighth lowest as a percentage of
population classified as elderly, at 19.2%. While this is close to the Scottish
average of 19.6%, there is a wide variation from a low of 13.6%, in Glasgow to
a high of 26.6%, in Dumfries and Galloway. The table below is a summary
comparison with Scotland and our bordering authorities. 
Scottish Context Mid-2021
Organisation Population 65 Plus % 65 Plus
Scotland 5,479,900 1,073,861 19.60%
North Ayrshire 134,220 31,294 23.32%
Inverclyde 76,700 16,721 21.80%
East Renfrewshire 96,580 19,846 20.55%
West Dunbartonshire 87,790 17,142 19.53%
Renfrewshire 179,940 34,585 19.22%
Glasgow City 635,130 86,604 13.64% 
6.4. Here we explore our neighbouring local authorities in relation to bulk uplifts
service provided. We also look nationally to see whether any free or reduced
services are available, for either the elderly specifically, or for any other service
users; this is in relation to scope objective 5.4.
6.4.1 A comparison of the charges and policies of our neighbouring authorities has
been provided for context. It can be noted that none of our neighbouring
authorities are currently providing any exemptions for these charges to the
elderly or for any other demographic. The table below provides a summary of
the common charges for comparison.

Local Context 2022/23
Organisation Standard
Charge Additional Context
Renfrewshire £35.35 1 to 20 items with a cost of £35.35 for white
goods (per item)
North Ayrshire £25.20 Up to five items with an additional £5.04 for each
additional item.
Inverclyde £26.10 1-5 Items £26.10 (Minimum Charge), 6-10 Items
£52.25.
East Renfrewshire £51.85 Items should be manageable for a 2-person
crew to collect within a 15-minute time slot.
West Dunbartonshire £24.36 1 to 9 items with over ten items will result in a
time charge rate.
Glasgow City £5.00 1 item per £5, this covers standard items and
large electrical items.   
6.4.2 A review of the services provided by all 32 local authorities, has highlighted only
Stirling Council currently offers an exemption for the elderly, in this case 60+
residents. If all members of a household are over 60 years old, they will collect
up to two special uplifts free of charge each year. The standard charge is £45.60
for up to five items.
6.4.3 Two authorities currently operate a discount scheme for residents who are on
Housing benefit or Council Tax Reduction. At the time of request the resident
inputs their benefit number to obtain the discount. At present no other examples
of any discounted bulk uplift services have been identified across Scotland. 
Organisation Standard
Charge Additional Context
Aberdeen City £30.00 Fifty percent reduction if a resident is entitled to
Housing or Council Tax Reduction.
Aberdeenshire Council £29.72 Sixty percent reduction if a resident is entitled to
Housing or Council Tax Reduction.  
6.5. The next report will focus on reviewing internally in relation to Scope 5.2 above,
assessing the financial and non-financial implications in relation to the provision
of free bulk uplifts for the elderly in Renfrewshire.
