1.     That Cabinet supports the recommendation of the Waste and Recycling Panel at their meeting on 12 October 2018 as set out in paragraph 2.7 of this report (not to participate in the trial).

2.     The Environment Panel are tasked with monitoring development in this area, including consideration of the implications for this council arising from the Governments revised Waste Strategy.

Minutes:

Mrs Plant introduced the item. She explained that the Government recycling waste target of 50% by 2020 has already been met by WSCC through a number of local initiatives. The higher target of 55% by 2025 and 65% by 2035 need further consideration. Mrs Plant explained that analysis of the residual waste shows at least 20% is food which if collected separately would easily reach the 55% target. Mrs Plant outlined the food waste collection trial commissioned by WSCC and explained that two districts are invited to participate. The proposal was considered by the Waste and Recycling Panel who recommended that the council supports the trial but does not participate at this stage.

 

Mrs Lintill explained that in the current state of economic climate she supports the recommendation of the report.

The Cabinet then voted unanimously to make the resolutions below.
