Bulky Waste and Garden Waste Charges

Meeting: 08/01/2019 - Environment Policy Development Group (Item 49)

Bulky Waste and Garden Waste Charges (00.30.21)

To consider a verbal report by The Group Manager for Street Scene and Open Spaces providing members with analysis of the current charges for Bulky Waste and Garden Waste bins and an alternative charging structure.

Minutes:

The Group received a verbal report by the Group Manager for Street Scene and Open Spaces providing members with analysis of the current charges for bulky waste and garden waste bins and an alternative charging structure as requested at the last meeting.

 

He explained that the authority’s charging structure for bulky waste was in line with other authorities in Devon but the current charging structure of fixed price items meant that some users were paying less for more items being removed.

 

He further explained that if the fixed price item charge was removed then users would pay more for the more items they had removed. He explained that the increase in income to the Council for removing this charge would be less then £1k per annum.

 

It was therefore RECOMMENDED to Cabinet to abolish the Fixed Price Items charge of £27.00
