In the waste services budget for 2012-13 the service proposes to make savings of £300,000. This will help the Council to spend more on priority services, such as those for vulnerable adults and children, and roads. The service is proposing to do this by following the recent major improvements to kerbside recycling services with some reduction in the number of mini recycling sites, primarily those used by schools and not accessible to the general public, and the removal of summer evening opening hours at Wiltshire’s Household Recycling Centres (HRCs). Proposals are made for alternative services to local authority schools.
This report summarises the results of public consultation on the proposals held from
29 February to 28 May 2012 and the technical analysis of mini recycling sites and explains how these have been used to identify the proposals.
