Purpose

To raise the cost of replacement and additional waste receptacles in line with benchmarking figures and remove current discounts on green bins. No alternative options reviewed as this is a cost recovery exercise.

Decision

To raise the cost of replacement grey, green and brown bin deliveries to £37. This sees grey and brown raise in line with benchmarking from other local authorities, and the current 100% discount for green bin charging removed. This is to ensure full cost recovery for replacement bins where bins have not been damaged by the collection crews.
