Green Waste Charging
Minutes:
The Head of Street Scene and Community gave an update on the Green Waste collection service as the new charging arrangements had now been in operation for a year. It was reported that the service had proved to be popular and that over 15,000 applications had been received for the service which equated to 40% of households in the District.
It was reported that arrangements were well underway in respect of changes to the Waste Collection and Disposal service which would come into operation in April 2010. Information gathered from the introduction of the Green Waste collection service was being used to inform the planning for the new service. A Communications Strategy was being developed based on feedback from customer focus groups and from comments received during the introduction of the Green Waste service.
RESOLVED that the position be noted.
