RESOLVED:

 

(a)      That the progress made on
achieving a robust and effective Resources and Waste Strategy to
meet net zero targets, achieve statutory recycling

targets, and mitigate against the risk of infraction
fines, be noted;

 

(b)     
That the Resource and Waste Strategy to meet net zero targets,
achieve statutory recycling targets, and mitigate against the risk
of infraction fines be supported; and

 

(c)     
That Scrutiny agrees to a further report to be presented in June
outlining the Council’s proposals to increase recycling waste
in line with Priority 2 and the draft Resource and Waste
Strategy.

 

(d)     
That the final bullet point on page 12 of the draft Resources and
Waste Strategy be amended to read: “That the Council may
consider restricting the amount of residual waste that residents
can dispose of in the black bin to encourage greater recycling by
all residents either by reducing the frequency of collections or
the capacity of the bin”.
