Decision

The Chief Executive has approved the commencement of a six-week public consultation on the introduction of a three weekly collection schedule for non-recyclable waste based on the methodology summarised in paragraph 3.6 of the accompanying report.

Reasons for the decision

The consultation will provide information on the environmental and financial benefits associated with reducing residual waste and increasing recycling performance. The consultation will help inform a future decision regarding waste collection services whilst promoting environmental sustainability and financial resilience. The consultation will ensure that any future decisions regarding waste collection services are informed by residents, stakeholders and community organisations and are supported by a clear evidence base.
