Issue - meetings

As detailed in the recommendations.

Councillor Thomas introduced the report which provided an update on the previously approved changes to the waste collection rounds and the Council’s Household Recycling Centres (HRCs) redevelopment programme, both of which would contribute significantly to improving future recycling levels.  The report also sought approval for the updated Household Waste Collection and Household Centre Operations policy which had been amended to reflect the changes.

                        The report provided full details on the resident van permit scheme; HRC opening times; HRC management; and waste and recycling round changes.  A communications plan had been produced for the project and a County wide communication campaign to inform residents of the changes to the service would be undertaken before the new rounds were launched which would highlight both the additional materials that would be collected and the date the new collection service would commence.

RESOLVED:

(a)       That the changes to the Council’s Household Waste Collection and Household Recycling Centre Operations policy be approved; and

(b)       That the changes to the waste and recycling rounds, due to be implemented in September 2017, be approved.
