29/01/2015 - DECISION REGARDING THE CONTINUATION OF CO-MINGLED RECYCLING COLLECTIONS AS A RESULT OF THE WASTE (ENGLAND AND WALES) (AMENDMENT) REGULATIONS 2012

To approve:-

 

(i)        That it is not economically practicable to reintroduce kerbside separate collection of paper, plastics, metal and glass from households in Leicester City and therefore the current co-mingled service should continue to operate.

 

(ii)       That the assessment findings for kerbside household recycling collections are reviewed when Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) quality data is available from Biffa Waste Services in 2015, which is required of Biffa by schedule 9a of the Environmental Permitting Regulations 2014.

 

(iii)      That assessments indicate Bring Bank and Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRC) collections are “likely to be compliant” (when following the Waste Regulations Route Map) / meet the quality standards of reprocessors, and therefore the separate collection of materials through these collection methods should continue.
