The Director of Technical Services presented a report which sought Cabinet approval for a policy for the supply of waste and recycling receptacles to householders.  The policy detailed the situations where residents would be charged for replacement or additional containers. The report also highlighted the financial implications of current and future service demands for replacement bins and the rising cost of new bins as a result of increased oil prices.

Resolved - That

(1)   the Provision of Household Waste and Recycling Containers Policy detailed in section 3.0 of this report be approved for implementation by January 1st 2009; and

(2)   the prioritisation of the remaining 2008/9 Waste Capital Infrastructure Grant (WCIG) funding totalling £245K be approved for the provision of recycling receptacles to multi-occupancy properties.
