Decision details

To approve changes to the service to further increase the recycling rate and deliver savings

1. To roll out food waste recycling services (including fortnightly refuse collections) to all appropriate street-based properties across the borough, coinciding with the planned switch to commingled recycling for all street-based properties in Autumn 2011.

2. To take the opportunity that arises from the roll out to change the collection frequency for commingled recycling from street-based properties to fortnightly in order to make the service more efficient.

3. To introduce blue 240 litre wheeled bins in place of blue boxes for all suitable street-based properties to provide additional capacity for recycling.
