Agenda item

It was emphasised by Members that fly tipping was always unacceptable and was never inadvertently carried out.

Members accepted the recommendation from the earlier Scrutiny Committee, to extend the notice period to local residents from one month to two months, as detailed in bold at decision 1 below.

Decisions:

1.           That the Council ceases to collect textiles at the kerbside and alters it’s marketing accordingly, providing two months’ notice to the general public.

2.           That officers work with any local outlets who are prepared to receive and/or pay for textiles, to help promote the growing number of community events and the use of ‘bring’ facilities such as those provided at council Household Waste Recycling Centres.

Reason for Decisions:

To determine the way forward with respect to the kerbside collection of textiles.

Implementation of Decisions:

The decisions will be implemented after the three day call in period.
