Issue - decisions

I approve to:

(i) note the process undertaken to assess compliance with the requirements of the Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011 as amended by the Waste (England and Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2012 (attached in Appendix 1).

(ii) note the application of the necessity and TEEP tests completed on the tendered collection services and note that the results show:

(a) It is necessary to collect paper and glass separately in order to facilitate or improve recovery.

(b) It is technically practicable to collect paper, glass, metals and plastics separately.

(c) It is not environmentally or economically practicable to collect paper, glass, metals and plastics separately.

(d) Of the modelled services, based on local circumstances, collection of comingled recyclable materials from a wheeled bin with collection of glass stored separately in a box should result in recovery of the largest quantity of high quality recycling and is the most environmentally and economically practicable service to deliver in Wiltshire.

(iii) agree that from 1 August 2017 the system for collection of dry recyclables should be comingled using the blue lidded bin for all materials excluding glass which should be collected from the black box.

This decision was published on 22 December 2015 and will come into force on 31 December 2015.
