Issue - meetings

To receive and consider report 104/09 of the Head of Commercial Services (attached). 

(Time: 3.09pm to 3.11pm)

The Executive received and considered report 104/09 of the Head of Commercial Services that set out a draft wheeled bin policy.  This would govern the issue and use of wheeled bins, including the circumstances where the council would offer alternative collection arrangements. 

The portfolio holder for commercial services considered that a policy was needed to govern these issues and would allow efficient waste and recycling collections, reduce cost, introduce uniform standards, and would reduce disputes and complaints.  The Executive agreed, welcoming the policy and the fair but firm approach being taken.  Councillors looked forward to the implementation of the new waste contract and the greater efficiencies that it and this policy would bring. 

RESOLVED

that the wheeled bin policy appended to report 104/09 be adopted.
