Decision details

Cabinet considered report 71/11 of the head of corporate strategy, which sought approval to a revised wheeled bin policy.  The officers had redrafted the policy with South Oxfordshire District Council. 

The chairman invited Councillor Dudley Hoddinott to ask his question.  He requested Cabinet to amend the policy to describe what was meant by ‘contamination’, which bins might be contaminated and how could the contamination be removed?  Cabinet agreed that this should be clarified. 

The cabinet member responsible for waste recommended adoption of the revised policy, believing it would allow sufficient flexibility to adapt to differing circumstances. 

RESOLVED: To

(a)       approve the revised wheeled bin policy, set out in appendix 1 to report 71/11, subject to clarifying the term ‘contamination’; and

(b)               authorise the head of corporate strategy, in consultation with the relevant Cabinet member, to approve requests from residents for a change to their normal bin provision where such requests are justified.
