Minutes:
Colette Hill, Assistant Director of Neighbourhoods, Property and Housing introduced the report and added that the results of the trial in Milton were not ready in time to be included in the report. The trial had lasted three weeks and had led to a 16% reduction in waste.
Councillor George Fielding pleased to note that the changes would mean that the weekly waste collections would continue and the amount of waste reduce.
Councillor Dave Ashmore, Cabinet Member for Environment & Community Safety noted that waste is increasing and is expensive to deal with. These changes are necessary in order to retain the weekly waste collection and to increase recycling.

The Cabinet Member for Environment & Community Safety:
1. Noted the outcomes of the weekly wheeled bins and weekly bin bag trials and approves the strategy for retaining weekly refuse collections whilst increasing recycling rates.
2. Agreed the timeline for the changes required to retain weekly refuse collections.
