WASTE MANAGEMENT To receive a recommendation from Council’s meeting on 14 December 2020, Ref: 97/GE:
97/GE REVIEW OF FIRST YEAR OF WASTE MANAGEMENT CONTRACT
Councillor Harvey requested that the terracyle bin for recycling of crisp packets be made more visible to the public at the market. She also noted that putting litter in bins was not seen as “cool” by older children/teens and whether any thought could be given to how to encourage this behaviour from that age group. It was suggested that a specific report on town centre/market waste be given to the Market Sub Committee or Cultural and Economic Services Committee. A suggestion was made to have a notice displayed at the market regarding the amount of food waste recycled.
RECOMMENDED to the Cultural and Economic Services Committee: (i) to receive specific information on waste collected from the market and to look at ways in which to promote these figures. (ii) to look at ways to maximise the opportunities for the market to embed and promote recycling at the market.
