Recycling

February 2004

City Councillor's Report

District Councillor Charlotte Bailey reported upon proposals concerning Waste Collection. It is proposed that "Landfill Waste" will be collected only once every two weeks as opposed to the current once every week and "Recyclable Waste" will be collected every alternate week. In addition, there will be facilities for "Green Waste" collection. The purpose of these changes is to encourage a higher percentage of waste recycling to meet targets set by Central Government. Preparatory to a pilot scheme being introduced in 2005, consultations with Parish Councils are to be undertaken in order to assist in effective publication of these proposals. It is understood that Shawford has been selected as one of the areas involved in the pilot scheme.
