Priority in Corporate Plan – Clean and Green Local Places
Sub-priority - Quality Local Places and Public Spaces and Impact on Others
Timescale for implementation – September 2019 onwards
Proposal description
There are a number of service change options to the waste and recycling services which can be introduced separately or in combination with each other.
In all options food waste will continue to be collected weekly. There are no changes proposed to collection to blocks of flats currently on weekly residual waste collections. Some properties would also not be suitable for additional wheel bins and they would remain with boxes for recycling.
Options are as follows-
A. Fortnightly Two Stream dry recycling collections in wheeled bins consisting of alternating week collections of containers (plastic packaging, cans, cartons and glass) and paper & cardboard. With food waste collected weekly in the dry recycling vehicle and retaining two-weekly residual waste collections.
B. Three-weekly residual waste collections, retaining weekly dry recycling collected in boxes. This would include a new service collecting absorbent hygiene products (AHP nappies and incontinent pads) in between the residual waste collections, so these would not remain at any property longer than two weeks.
C. A combination of options A) & B) above. Fortnightly two stream dry recycling collections in wheeled bins and three-weekly residual waste collections including the fill-in AHP service.
D. Three-weekly two stream dry recycling collections in wheeled bins and three-weekly residual waste collections including the fill-in AHP service.
