Minutes: Martin Litherland - Head of Waste Management Waste Services, Wiltshire Council gave a short presentation that outlined Wiltshire Council’s Consultation on a new waste management strategy to shape how the Council collects and manages household waste and recycling.

Points made included:
· The council needed to develop a new waste management strategy in order to shape how it collected and managed household waste and recycling in Wiltshire.
· The strategy needed to take into account Wiltshire’s current challenges and also major developments in waste services.
· That following the award of a collection contract to Hills Waste, kerbside services would change from 30 July 2018. These changes would make it easier for residents to recycle more at home.
