1. That the existing pilot scheme continue pending a decision later in 2011 regarding a possible roll-out of the food waste recycling service.
2. That any roll-out of the food waste recycling service start in Autumn 2011 so that concerns relating to fortnightly refuse collections over the summer months can be addressed.

4. That any roll-out of the food waste recycling scheme occur at the same time as the planned move to co-mingled (mixed) recycling collections, so as to minimise the roll-out costs. The co-mingled recycling collections for all blue box properties are currently scheduled to start in Autumn 2011.
5. That households in the pilot area be automatically supplied with enough biodegradable bags to cover use of two bags per week, with additional bags available on request and that these bags be supplied without handles.
6. That blue wheelie bins be trialed in place of blue boxes for suitable properties in part of the pilot are (to be selected) on an opt-out basis, and a number be made available on request from April onwards for all households in the pilot area.
