The report by the Director of Housing, Neighbourhood and Building Services is to update the Cabinet on the outcomes of the food waste trials and present options for consideration to reduce waste and improve the recycling offer in Portsmouth.
Options:
1) Continue to provide separate weekly food waste collections to those households in the trial.
2) Expand the trial to provide an additional set of trials of separate weekly food waste (1 round over 5 days)
3) Rollout the weekly food waste collection service to all houses and flats in the City where it is practicable to do so.
The financial implications of each of these options is detailed in section 4 of the report.
The RECOMMENATION is to implement option 2. The council will also work towards a city wide rollout that links in with the end of the current collection contract in September 2021 - subject to funding being identified.
