Agenda item

Decision:

That having had due regard to the Integrated Impact Assessment, the policy set out in Appendix 1 to the circulated report be approved, with respect to the use of containers by residents for presentation of black bagged waste on small vehicle collection rounds, the key points of which are:

a)      On small vehicle black bag collection rounds, residents must place their waste into black bags for collection.

b)      Wheeled bins will not be provided to residents on small vehicle bag collection rounds.

c)      Where waste is put out for collection in containers on small vehicle black bag waste collection rounds it will not be collected.

d)      Council wheeled bins already in circulation being used as containers on black bag collection rounds can be retained by residents within their property for storage between collections if they so wish, but should residents put them out for waste collection they will be removed, along with the black bag waste within them (and reused where possible on bin collection rounds).

Reason for Decisions:

To determine policy and a consistent position in relation to the presentation, by residents, of refuse within containers on bag collection rounds.

Implementation of Decisions:

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