Infrastructure Management presented a report, which detailed a proposal to keep
recyclables out of black bags at the kerbside to encourage increased recycling
to meet increasing statutory targets. The
approach also sought to avoid the need to further restrict the number of black
bags of their collection frequency.

circulated.

1) Residents be advised that the recyclables listed below are not permitted to be placed in their residual (black bag) waste:
Ø Food;

check black bags for significant recyclables;
3)
The process detailed in Paragraphs 4.3 to 5.1 of
the report be followed to seek a step change in waste management and recycling
