RESOLVED:

1.1       That the Waste Minimisation and Recycling Service Aims and Objectives for
            2016/17 as set out in paragraph
4 of the report, be agreed.

 

1.2       That the outcome of the recycling pilot carried out in Tollington (and
            neighbouring) Wards as set out in paragraph
5.1 of the report be noted.

1.3       That the proposed changes to food and garden waste recycling collections
            would not deliver the level of savings originally anticipated be noted.

1.4       That implementation of the previously proposed changes to food and garden
waste recycling collections will not proceed, as other ways of achieving the
savings have been identified, including re-phasing the delivery of savings across the department and from optimising refuse and recycling rounds.

            completed be noted.

 

Reasons for decision – to enable the service to become more efficient and to deliver its MTFS savings targets
